DJ’s “WW” asks the NYPD, “WWJD?”
Onomatopoetics aside, this tape is a progressive New
Yorker’s plea to raise awareness for police accountability in light of the
department’s increasing stranglehold on the social construct of “Justice”. Decrepit
Jaw (ab)uses and corrupts field recordings, soundbites, and modular
synthesizers in an attempt to convey what it feels like to survive state-sanctioned
trauma…and still muster the gumption to communicate. It is both
stomach-churningly depressing and evocative of hope…that, as human beings,
maybe we can come together and constructively address the problems inherent in
allotting a population with unchecked powers over others.
“All proceeds from this album will be donated to the
National Police Accountability Project.”
