"Hologram" is the second cut on The Urinals' debut "Dead Flowers" EP, a 7" dose of lo-fi weirdo perfection. The drums are sloppy, the bass is barely in tune, and the vocals sound like they were recorded in one desperate take. "Hologram" has to be one of the most demented sounding "punk" songs out there, mostly because it feels like it's ready to fall apart at any moment. Could this (accidentally) be the first black metal song? The angular and dissonant chords are practically overshadowed by the creepy baby-monitor vocals, which have this to say:
I said I needed you
You said you needed me
Mutual selfish desire
I had a hologram
Now that it's all over
I rarely see you any longer
I plug myself in
I am a hologram
