I Hate People On The Internet, the 2022 EP by Brisbane-based singer, songwriter and producer Zheani Sparkes, ended with a song that found solace in nihilism. "We know life's not fair now, baby, don't be scared now,� she sang on "We're All Going To Die,� "We're all going there and we'll be happy there.� After a record that drew power from strife and hatred, it was a surprising twist-an acknowledgement that if this world is, indeed, bullshit, ending in death for those good and bad alike, we might as well just accept it.
The Spiritual Meat Grinder, Zheani's follow-up mixtape, leans full-tilt into this realisation. It's a party record for the end of the world that tips its hat toward the futility of life-while inviting you to "bring wet cunt to the dancefloor� as a means of coping. We live inside the Spiritual Meat Grinder every damn day, so why not have a little fun with it? "When you're in The Spiritual Meat Grinder spiralling in the absurd you may as well be a freak and have a good time,� says Zheani. "If you're in Sodom and Gomorrah and can't escape, you may as well be at the drunken orgy when the fire and brimstone starts to fall.�
