Priest
Lawrence Lane’s 7 inch single Priest offers us confessional
in the via negative; allowing us access only the counsel of a Priest.
While retaining a sense of spiritual mystery and inviting much speculation,
Priest automates the ritual of clerical admonishment.
Resembling a prop from a Turing artificial intelligence test, Priest
implies the perpetual motion of endlessly reproducible fall and
redemption that keeps the wheel of Catholicism turning.
