"Think of a transcendentally twisted fairy tale from hell in beautiful chaos, and you’re right there with Collapsing Scenery" -Flaunt
"[Metaphysical Cops'] accompanying video, realized by Collapsing Scenery's multi-instrumentalist and sound artist Don Devore, reflects the tension within the song through visual abstraction and disorientation." -Purple
"[Metaphysical Cops] opens with an 8-bit feel that could serve as a dark backdrop for an early ’90s fighting/adventure game with Debris’ smooth, breathy vocals sitting on top. Then things get trippy, becoming much more ambient and chaotic with huge atmospheric sweeps and whomping sequences. Get ready for a hell of a ride." -Stereogum
Collapsing Scenery’s music and creative process represent the world as the band wishes the world were: playful, polyglot, intense, committed, politically engaged, free, open, and without boundaries or hierarchies.C.S. formed in the terrible autumn of 2013, under a pall of paranoia and disgust, as predator missiles rained on Middle Eastern heads and each day brought news of further surveillance of innocents and more aggressive pursuit of those who had the nerve to inform us about it.Against this backdrop, erstwhile collaborators Don De Vore and Reggie Debris put aside the stringed instruments on which they’d first learned to play music and on which they were comfortable and versed, and assembled an impressive pile of analog electronics: samplers, step sequencers, synths and drum machines, all supplemented by effects pedals usually applied to guitars. From the largely improvised sessions, many accompanied by drummer Ryan Rapsys, the seeds of songs began their germination. Lyrics that Debris had been amassing over years of political rage and frustration began to find their homes when paired with ad-libbed instrumentals. Melodies and cadences alchemically emerged as the words settled into their natural rhythmic patterns.These elements create dizzying music that by turns touches on punk, industrial, techno, hip-hop, free jazz, soul, disco, folk balladry, and whatever other spirits happen to inhabit the recording studio at any given moment.
