The album explores themes such as trauma, isolation, existence, rage, transmisogyny, and politicians' use of the term "thoughts and prayers". The treatment of themes such as trauma on the album has been described as hopeful and cathartic, and McCallion said that they had aimed "for people to resonate with it if they’ve been in that dark place" when covering such themes. By alchemizing that tension into pop, Rook and Dizzy make music that doesn’t force listeners into an arbitrarily optimistic mindset.
"In My Mouth" has really annoying and off-puting vocals and "Legacy" is very abrasive while having really angry lyrics which somehow annoy me instead of making me feel for the duo. Okay i'll first say that i used to neglect this group for so long with no fucking reasons until today i decided to bite the gun and listen to black dresses' first album. Needs to review the security of your connection before proceeding. The album was a viral success on the video-sharing website TikTok. The success of songs on the album led to invasion of privacy and extended harassment against McCallion by what the duo described as "entitled fans", eventually leading to the disbandment of the duo in 2020. Musically, the album has been described as noise pop and industrial pop, and was inspired by noise and pop music of the 2010s such as Sleigh Bells and Linkin Park.
WASTEISOLATION
Songs on the album delve into the aftermath of formative trauma, a subject neither Rook nor Dizzy anticipated tackling. “We had a much more lighthearted idea starting out, and it got really personal,” Dizzy says. I am somewhat more detached from the situation but obviously want Devi to be safe, so I stand with her on this decision completely.
(rook+dizzy) PUT ME UNDER I WANT TO GET AWAY I WONDER IF I COULD MAKE IT SHE'S A RUNNER I HEAR SHE FUCKS WITH SOMETHING OTHER YOU DONT KNOW THE HALF OF IT!!! This anger burns out too quick to hold i wanna be engulfed but i'm out in the cold am i a character in some sick fantasy that's getting old? What happens from now on if it turns out i never told you? REAL AGAIN SOMEDAY i'm going to start again i'm going to start again. After WASTEISOLATION the anticipation for the future of Black Dresses was high. It is hard to imagine anyone saw just how productive they would be!
Black Dresses
The duo announced via Twitter on May 26, 2020, that Black Dresses would be disbanding, citing the harassment received by McCallion as the reason. The band's music was also temporarily taken off streaming services. On 10 July 2020, after the duo disbanded, a remix of 100 Gecs song, "745 Sticky", was released on the remix album 1000 Gecs and the Tree of Clues. On 21 December 2020, the duo released a single with ESPer99 titled "World Peace", recorded in 2019. McCallion and Rook also released solo music under the names Girls Rituals and Ada Rook respectively. A post to the r/indieheads subreddit shared Devi's previous statement from her private Instagram.
“The intention is for people to resonate with it if they’ve been in that dark place,” Dizzy says. “I just want to bring that dancing energy.” Black Dresses’s songs offer comfort and catharsis not because they promise that everything will get better but because they show you how to riot through hell. This song was composed and recorded in November 2019, a time of great turmoil for everyone involved. ESPer99, having been coerced out of their LA sublet by repeat SWATings, joined us for a month in our new Hamilton apartment. While ESPer99 & Rook finished the album rook&nomie – me&you, this triune collaboration took shape as well.

WASTEISOLATION lyrics
It's chaotically catchy and it touches some deep topics like disassociation, pure anger, etc.. Black Dresses were a Canadian noise pop duo consisting of Ada Rook and Devi McCallion. Their debut album, Wasteisolation, was released independently in 2018. The duo released three additional albums, Thank You , Love and Affection for Stupid Little Bitches , and Peaceful as Hell , before breaking up in 2020. Despite no longer being a band, Black Dresses have released two additional albums, Forever in Your Heart and Forget Your Own Face .
Ignoring the lyrics of WASTEISOLATION, though entirely impossible, results in an infinitely-enjoyable experience complete with anthemic hooks, shifty bridges, and loud, bass-rattling beats. The genre typically reserved from thought, quarantined and sequestered from consideration. But tracks like 'THOUGHTS & PRAYERS,' 'IM EARTH,' and 'LEGACY' rapturously toy with sound addiction.
Track listing
She produced/co-produced most of the band's music from 2007 to 2010 and is seen pictured/depicted in promotional artwork on their bandcamp page. In August 2021, Black Dresses' music returned to streaming services. In December 2021, Black Dresses appeared on the holiday compilation album Christmasasaurus X2 with their version of the song "We Are Children of the Light" by Eugene O'Reilley. Scrobbling is when Last.fm tracks the music you listen to and automatically adds it to your music profile. I listened to this whole album and I have to say there were so many moments where I started to not feel it very much, but then something in the song would make me have a rush of euphoria. Every song had one or more of these “rush” moments, and the sardonic tone of the vocalist added a nice juxtaposition between dramatic tones and emotional lyrics.
They released their first single, a cover of M.I.A.'s "Paper Planes", in December 2017. The FADER's longstanding series GEN F profiles emerging artists to know now. This whole album slaps I love it, but melty future hits different. Black Dresses “WASTEISOLATION” came into the world on Easter weekend 2018, which is when Christ was Crucified and burned in Hell for three days. Pop and noise make for strangely suited bedfellows on an album, by turns colorful and crushing, steeped in physical and psychic pain.
