Detroit’s Red Pill has a gift for the type of simple honest everyday truth that made Raymond Carver famous. Perhaps Bukowski Carver and Red Pill’s own penchant for one too many drinks plays a part but whatever it is their unflinching look at our contemporary American lives is what draws us in. They bask in the ordinary and glow when describing the mundane. Red Pill’s sophomore solo project ’Instinctive Drowning’ delves even deeper into the reservoir of his memory and the dangerous riptide of his future.
