This was something I had occasionally seen in the past, part of low-rider car culture. A reclaiming of a corporate symbol of American success, The Car, from an outsider&#8217;s point of view. A statement-making rejection of the shiny brand new look, the idea of a new start, the promise of power, and the freedom on the open road. Like an option on a voting ballot, &#8220;none of the above.&#8221;<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>&#8216;Murdered Out&#8217; as a look, is now creeping into mainstream culture as a design trend. A coffee brand. A clothing line. A nail polish color.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>Black-on-black matte is the ultimate expression in digging out, getting rid of, purging the soul. Like a black hole, the supreme inward look, a culture collapsing in on itself, the outsider as an unwilling participant as the &#8216;It&#8217; look.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>I met the \u00fcber talented Justin Raisen, the producer, by chance. He was working on a project with another artist and kept sending me tracks to listen to with the possibility of getting me to sing on one of them. When I learned I could make up my own lyrics, I was in. With the remaining bits of unused vocals, he started what would be &#8216;Murdered Out.&#8217; Stella Mozgawa (Warpaint) plays drums, based on the trashy drums that Justin first laid down. I went back and did more vocals and guitar and we mixed it&#8230;&#8217;Murdered Out&#8217; was such a great surprise!
