Under her nom de plume, Kristina Olson, an Austin-based singer-songwriter and resolutely global citizen, will release her debut album, Trashumanism on May 31. The title is a riff off the sociological idea of transhumanism, or the evolution of people as they become integrated with increasingly intelligent forms of technology.
“‘Trashumanism’ is about our regression and the negative impact of technology and media on our society, and the turn we’ve taken towards the divisive side,” says Le Destroy. “You’d think with all this technology and social awareness we’d be growing and evolving and be able to have complex solutions to these complex problems, but it seems like we just can’t find common ground in our way forward.”
In ten gritty tracks that run the gamut from aggressively haunting industrial to passionate punk anthems to dance-inducing electronic rock, Le Destroy hammers in her thoughts on consumerism, feminism, body autonomy, sexuality and technology’s overthrow, bound together in a futuristic sheen that even Stanley Kubrick could appreciate.
Working with producer extraordinaire and former Nine Inch Nails collaborator Danny Lohner on the release with Josh Freese on drums, Le Destroy produces a soundscape that is both crunchy and ethereal, moving to the heartbeat of the club scene with cerebral ebb and flow. Her futuristic-leaning music and visuals play off society’s transgressions as she manipulates her vision into an amalgamation of sonic fury.
