Hedonism by Conrad Molech

In anticipation of a flurry of new releases, SHIT CITY is proud to reissue Hedonism, its first ever release. CDr in 240 gsm paper sleeve.

It was 2012. I was in the midst of a professional and personal rut. I was in Perth, my hometown, for the first time in years. I was drinking too much. I was depressed to be in what I thought was a cultural backwater after spending so many years troubadouring Europe. But then, that night at some shitty pub seeing the mighty Lingchi for the first time, it hit me. Everything I needed was here in Perth. The internet had well and truly opened up the world and it was now perviously unfashionable cities like Perth, Antwerp, Leipzig, Belgrade, Miami Dade that were at the vanguard. Places where you can afford to actually live and work on your art. Not the UK, where to make art you need a trust fund, or suck off someone that does.

This epiphany set off an avalanche of creativity. I personally produced the best work of my career to that date and by starting the SHIT CITY label I opened up to the world the brilliance of Perth Art with releases by Levi Cunningham and Lingchi. I was showing the world that Perth was the place to be. And I’m pretty proud of that.
