Light, Cruel & Vain is a super rad album that was created by Parrish Smith with the contributing musicians Sofiane Brahmi and Javier Vivancos. To say that I’m impressed would be a mammoth understatement. Every song has a different feel but in a very organic way they are all connected. Today I want to expose y’all’s minds to the Parrish Smith song “Slave.” This UNREAL tune sounds like a grunge anthem created through the lens of Killing Joke. Light, Cruel & Vain is coming out on May 16th via Dekmantel.
