The Mall is music for punks who dance. In the suburban wasteland of middle America, malls exist as decaying artifacts of conspicuous consumption - forgotten tombs haunted by the ghosts of capitalism's failures. Using sequencers and analog synths, the Mall's Mark Plant raises the dead to get glamorous amidst decay. Fusing the shimmering, plastic qualities of 80s dance electronica with the punishing, visceral energy of midwestern hardcore, the Mall soundtracks the liminal space between beauty and anger, celebration and cynicism, resilience and destruction. Performances are as ephemeral as kisses in a movie theater in 1987 - and more lethal than radiation fallout from a space probe. The Mall experience is spasming, ecstatic technical disaster.
