Hex Machine on the story behind "You've Got Crime":

"A mysterious figure heals people by driving ancient metal spikes through their soul. For those that remain, two smokes and a mirror existence is the structured settlement where the application process is very hard and somewhat frightening, and then death is noticed. Meanwhile, the background noise is set to stun in a metal framework, while what's inside is sensitive yet firm, and ready to fuck the lethargy right out of you. Which of course is anything but delusional.

"'You've Got Crime' is a layered cake made while under the influence of cooking shows hosted by Cronenberg & Lynch, intentionally baked for the parade of walking convalescence who are now the cool people. This is music for people who obsess over the potential for fresh bondage.
