Drought (EP)
''Drought'' is an EP by Deathspell Omega. It is the band's first release of new material since their 2010 album '' Paracletus''. It is the final release included in the band's 2012 vinyl box set incorporating the trilogy and related works, suggesting that the band regards it as thematically connected, and can be regarded as an epilogue to the trilogy. Critical reception ''Drought'' received mostly positive reviews from music critics. MetalSucks wrote that "in 20ish minutes, they create discomfort, obliterate, and even pine a little. They don’t stray far from the center, keeping things even more tightly reined in than Paracletus. But while that may seem like creative fatigue or ennui the first time through, after a while, Drought reveals itself to be so tightly packed that most of the details fly by you. But they’re there, destined to be dissembled." Pitchfork A pitchfork (also a hay fork) is an agricultural tool with a long handle and two to five tines used to lift a ...

The Drought (Puce Mary Album)
''The Drought'' is the fourth full-length album by Danish experimental musician and composer Frederikke Hoffmeier under the moniker Puce Mary. It was released on 5 October 2018 by Berlin-based record label, PAN. The first and only single from the album, "Red Desert", was released in August 2018. Background and music The music on ''The Drought'' was described as noise and industrial music and incorporates soundtrack dynamics. According to Pitchfork's Daniel Martin-McCormick, the album, while rooted in industrial and power electronics genres, eschews these genres' "stereotypical displays of machismo and fetishistic celebrations of strength." Similarly, Bob Cluness of The Quietus stated that "uses genre motifs of noise and industrial music not so much to bombard the listener with adolescent fantasies of power, transgression and provocation, but instead to look at such violence as possessing empathy based on action and transformation." Hoffmeier has stated that during the reco ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
The Drought
''The Burning World'' is a 1964 science fiction novel by British author J. G. Ballard. An expanded version, retitled ''The Drought'', was first published in 1965 by Jonathan Cape. Plot In contrast to Ballard's earlier novel '' The Drowned World'', ''The Burning World'' describes a world in which water is scarce. After an extensive drought, rivers have turned to trickles and the earth to dust, causing the world's populations to head toward the oceans in search of water. The drought is caused by industrial waste flushed into the ocean, which form an oxygen-permeable barrier of saturated long-chain polymers that prevents evaporation Evaporation is a type of vaporization that occurs on the surface of a liquid as it changes into the gas phase. High concentration of the evaporating substance in the surrounding gas significantly slows down evaporation, such as when humidi ... and destroys the precipitation cycle.

Pam Bachorz
Pam Bachorz (b. 1973) is an author of speculative fiction from the United States. Early life Pam Bachorz was born in 1973 in Salem, Massachusetts. Career She has written two speculative fiction novels for young adults: ''Candor'', published in 2009, and ''Drought'', published in 2011. ''Candor'', set in the near future, uses a trope common to horror in speculative fiction, that of a small town "malevolently under some kind of mesmeric or unholy control". A review in '' Wired'' magazine described the book's fictional setting as one that would produce "Stepford children", children brainwashed into conformity via subliminal messages. Its protagonist is Oscar Banks, whose father founded the town, and operates its system of indoctrination. Banks pretends to be a conformist, while covertly helping residents escape. Banks encounters a new girl in town, Nia, who has a strikingly different personality, forcing him to decide whether to keep her in town to alleviate his boredom, or hel ...

The Drouth
''The Drouth'' is an American-format quarterly periodical published in Glasgow, Scotland. It was founded in 2001 by Mitchell Miller and Johnny Rodger. Although its title is Scots (Eng: ''The Thirst''), the magazine is published mostly in Scottish Standard English, with features and fiction regularly appearing in languages such as French, Italian, Spanish, Broad Scots and Scottish Gaelic. ''The Drouth'' is unusual for a Scottish literary magazine in that it only infrequently publishes poetry, arguing that as poetry covers a good portion of other magazines' content, its efforts are better focused on other art-forms less well represented in Scotland's "small mags". The magazine works on a commissioning basis, and does not encourage unsolicited submissions. It has a particular focus on literature, film and politics but also covers visual art, music, architecture, photography and comix, as well as giving generous space to creative fiction. The magazine sponsors a number of cul ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
