Keira Fox, Sophie Sleigh-Johnson & Vindicatrix - Collapse (2024)
Fuck yo statue, Sanjay Suchak
the student paper at Occidental gives an account of [Cauleen] Smith's explanation of The Warden, made with and around Vindicatrix, a decommissioned idealized female allegorical statue from Richmond symbolizing confederate vengeance: “I really had problems with the way her beauty was always discussed in the description of the statue...and I thought that we should be denied some kind of access to her, or that she should be denied the power to project that beauty.”
...
The discovery of Miss Confederacy's secret identity led me to an article published in Richmond Magazine in September 2017, six weeks after white supremacists murdered a counterprotestor at a rally in Charlottesville, which had been organized to thwart an effort to remove a statue of Robert E. Lee. That was the moment Richmond's go-to source for dentist and restaurant recs felt the need to explain one of the city's less well known problematic confederate statues thus: "The Story of Vindicatrix: An allegorical symbol of the Confederacy, this statue is also somebody’s grandmother."

This new split from Antidröm and Vindicatrix is a keeper. The track here is one of my favorites from Antidröm, foregrounding percussion much more than his (excellent) full-length last year. There’s an instantly-recognizable crackling quality to Antidröm’s rhythms that adds an eerie tension to the synthesizer glow.
On the other hand, the menace is all on the surface on Vindicatrix’s “Nachtnakt”. For the first half, the singing about moving around the city in a “privately owned automobile” is accompanied only by the buzz of a police scanner. When the sparse drums come in it only heightens the anxiety — it’s the neoliberal surveillance nightmare made palpable. I love it.
