Celebrity Death Slot Machine Is Back With A New Record
CSDM a.k.a. Celebrity Death Slot Machine is back with a new record. The “freakout post-punk group” are based in Atlanta, GA. Their stylish sonic onslaught is anchored around dancey rhythms, atypical synthesizer work, timely saxophone growls, as well as goth rock-esque melodies that serve to recount bizarre humor-laden tales from a derelict parallel universe.
The second single off CDSM’s forthcoming long-player – Convertible Hearse (May 23rd, 2025 via EXAG’ Records & Mothland) – sees the Atlanta post-punks flirt with old-school hip-hop as a means to throw shade on pay-to-play culture, also taking a shot at proverbial gatekeepers. The deliciously delirious retro rap hit single “What Do You Make?”, as is the case with much of the band’s catalogue, is jam-packed with alien-esque sounds: bit crushed electronics, electric piano hooks, woodblock grooves; and, last but not least, an oh-so satisfying slap bass easter egg for nerds like us. RIYL: Peaches, Beastie Boys, or Grandmaster Flash.
CDSM on the track, ““What Do You Make?” is an open-ended question searching for a close-minded answer with the deftness of a hand blindly rummaging through a knife drawer. Keep your eyes on the prize – if it can’t be monetized, you won’t be recognized! Let your work adorn the refrigerator door of your life and validate your purpose in the only truly universal language – cold hard cash.”
