Parrka* Shares "We're All Going To The Coroner," EP Due Dec 18

Hal Williams has a new name and a new single. Now recording as Parrka*, they released "We're All Going To The Coroner" on Nov 6 through Silver Gun Records, and the label posted a live session for the song on its YouTube channel on Nov 9.
Rap fans will know them as Pyramid Vritra. They formed The Jet Age of Tomorrow with Matt Martians, and the duo's music came out through Odd Future, the crew Tyler, the Creator co-founded.
A song about the end
The single press sheet says Williams wrote it while dealing with deaths in their family and among family friends. The track runs 2:26. Williams sums it up in their own words: "'We're all going to the coroner' is a pessimistic acceptance of the fate, and a decision to revel in the moment anyway."
Williams did most of the work on it alone. The label credits them with the lyrics, vocals, drums, bass, recording, mixing and mastering, and they share the production credit with the song's guitarist. Sampa the Great's latest likewise lists the artist among the producers. The live session comes from Homemade at SGR, the label's live-session series, and its description adds that the song also questions what happens when the artificial becomes real, falsehood becomes fact and creative effort becomes a prompt.
