“Step
into
a
sick
rhythm.
And
I
mean
sickly.
Surgery
Channel
is
a
constructed
world
where
everything
is
piercing
and
pinpointed.
Every
single
word
brings
confrontation.
With
an
intro
as
intimate
and
uncomfortable
as
this,
The
C.I.A.
make
you
question
what
could
be
happening
here…or
what
they’re
after.
Denée
Segall
(vocals,
lyrics)
is
both
haunting
and
seducing
us
at
once
with
her
voice.
Something
unhinged
might
be
about
to
happen
and
they’re
calmly
dangling
it
over
your
head.
Is
it
the
possibility
of
dismemberment?
Revenge?
“There
is
something
about
Surgery
Channel
that
is
sterile
and
covered
in
dirt
at
the
same
time.
Maybe
it’s
the
feeling
of
simultaneous
anger
and
defeat.
Maybe
it’s
what
comes
after.
Or
maybe
it’s
about
the
ever-so-brief
silent
spaces
between
notes
and
words.
Rhythm
would
be
nothing
without
empty
space.
Words
are
rhythm
at
The
C.I.A.
“There’s
nothing
wishy
washy
about
The
C.I.A.
or
the
way
they
sound.
It’s
all
about
precision
and
aim
But
really,
it’s
a
warning...
amplified
by
the
suspense
of
tick-tocking
drum
machine
beats
that
resemble
a
hospital
room.
Ty
Segall
(bass,
percussion,
back
up
vocals)
and
Emmett
Kelly
(bass,
synth,
back
up
vocals)
have
painted
a
jarring
and
dissonant
landscape
behind
Denée’s
story.
Their
basses
could
easily
be
swapped
for
bone
drills
and
you
might
not
be
able
to
tell
the
difference.
Emmett’s
modular
synth
envisions
an
environment
reminiscent
of
the
instrument
itself,
a
mess
of
wires
and
pulsing
red
lights.
Ty’s
subtle
use
of
electronic
and
analog
percussion
fluctuates
between
the
sound
of
a
metal
tray
hitting
the
floor
(“The
Wait”),
and
the
swish
of
an
ultrasound
scan
(“Bubble”).
“Both
Surgery
Channel
and
The
C.I.A’s
first
self-titled
record
are
ripe
with
straightforward
conviction.
However
this
most
recent
installment
reveals
a
new
side
of
their
personality.
Now
The
C.I.A.
is
communicating
from
an
electrified,
pulsating,
metallic
playpen
that
wants
you
to
strut.
Surgery
Channel
shows
punks
a
new
way
to
move
while
remaining
loyal
to
the
traditions
of
catharsis
and
social
commentary.
“This
record
is
an
astute
observation
and
blunt
critique.
Both
inward
and
outward.
It
is
an
exploration
into
how
harshly
intimate
that
process
can
be.
It
was
written
in
2021
by
Denée
Segall,
Ty
Segall,
and
Emmett
Kelly.
It
was
recorded
at
Harmonizer
Studios
and
mixed
at
Golden
Beat
by
Mike
Kriebel.”
