Container from Black...Bored by LowHero.DLL
With Container, LowHero.DLL moves the stylistic needle toward post-punk indie rock. Electronica elements remain as a means to support throbbing bass guitar lines and piercing, noisy guitar riffs. The drum lines are organic, punchy, and dynamic.
Bands that LowHero.DLL credits as influences of this sound include Sonic Youth, Killing Joke, Big Black, 90's era David Bowie, and Joy Division.

Lyrics
There is nothing so powerful in this world that it can't be contained and controlled with a button
You look smashing, babydoll!
Oh, don't worry about those teeth.
You can get new ones when you need.
All this and more - virtually free
Everything, I mean everything is commodity.
There is nothing so beautiful in this world that it can't be contained and displayed in a collection.
You look smashing, babydoll!
Man, I dig that "fuck you all" attitude!
We're all just organ donors in the end anyway.
Roll your eyes.
Yes, they will despise you.
We live in a world of empty containers.
Smash it, babydoll!
Man, I dig that "fuck you all" attitude!
We're all just organ donors in the end anyway.
Roll your eyes,
reach out and take the prize,
and rule the world of empty containers.

LowHero.DLL is the electro-alt-pop solo project of Jonathan Chalker, based in Atlanta and distributed by Glim Records.
LowHero.DLL invokes New Wave and Post-Punk influences ranging from The Normal or Blondie to Big Black or PIL. There are doses of 90's styled indie-rock to add an organic twist to the electronic sound scheme, which can swing from dance friendly stompers to ambient interludes.
