ANNOUNCING:

Kill Alters

We Can Rot Together

To be released on October 16th on tape, CD, digitally, and t-shirt + DL code.

First single “DOUBLE-SLIT” now streaming on Bandcamp & beyond!

Kill Alters returns to Hausu Mountain with We Can Rot Together, the project’s third album in the label’s catalog. Spearheaded by Bonnie Baxter since the project’s inception, Kill Alters has previously featured drummer Hisham Bharoocha (Lightning Bolt, Black Dice, Boredoms) and Baxter’s husband Nicos Kennedy (a frequent collaborator of Machine Girl, Femtanyl, and Lustsickpuppy) as performing band members.

In its most recent configuration, Kill Alters has shifted to focus on Baxter as the composer, producer, and lead vocalist propelling her ballistic solo work from a command center of hardware and software instruments – with Kennedy handling the mixing and mastering of Baxter’s music. Bonnie Baxter’s work has appeared in the HausMo catalog on two solo albums under her given name, and on five releases as half of the duo Prolaps with Machine Girl’s Matt Stephenson.

On We Can Rot Together, Baxter offers us a thrilling program of her most direct and dancefloor ready bangers under the Kill Alters umbrella to date as she channels energy from various flavors of 90s-to-Y2K-era rave music. She has honed her practice both as a sculptor of polyrhythmic webs of technoid electronics and as a frontwoman shapeshifting on a dime through diverse vocal styles and personas. As with all Kill Alters music, Baxter weaves archival recordings of her own childhood and her upbringing with her mother into the chaos of We Can Rot Together – yet the tenor of these diaristic flashes has shifted from cathartic self-examination into the realm of celebration. As we hear flashes of Baxter singing karaoke as a child and her mom brashly proclaiming “I’m gonna dance,” we get in the spirit with them; we get on the floor and we headbang to the sounds that Baxter has conjured for us.
