The desolately beautiful songs notwithstanding, the critics had a point: The interior, brooding "Alice" lacks the theatrical overdrive of "The Black Rider," a robust musical adaptation of Carl Maria von Weber's opera "Der Freischütz" featuring an acid-laced book by William S. Burroughs.

Agitprop is a 2012 album by the Kalahari Surfers, the recording identity of South African musician Warrick Sony. Agitprop was released on Sjambok Music; it was first played at the Unyazi Festival in Durban in September.

South African Rolling Stone compared it to the KLF, Sly and Robbie and Pink Floyd, and described its "slow evolution of nuance" towards the "desolately upbeat" "Hostile Takeover".

The record contains several songs which have been compared to some of Sandoval's previous work with Mazzy Star. "The Peasant" has been compared to the band's 1994 single "Fade into You", and is the only song on the album to be composed solely by Sandoval. A review for Uncut said that the album's sixth track, "Treasure", is evocative of the material found on So Tonight That I Might See (1993), describing it as "both utterly wasted and desolately beautiful, [it] ends with a glorious slow fade, like a seaside sunset." Elsewhere, Until the Hunter contains material which has been ascribed to a diverse array of musical styles.

Above are the book's first lines, which have been called one of the greatest openings of any book. Berg is set in the English seaside town of Brighton, which was also where Quin grew up, and her home for most of her life, until her death by suicide in 1973; the action takes place in winter when the resort was empty and desolately atmospheric. The plot has echoes of Oedipus and Freudian theory, involving a romantic triangle between a man, his father, and the father's mistress Judith. The son attempts to murder the father, but ends up mutilating a ventriloquist's dummy and dragging it around town convinced it is his father's corpse.

Agitprop explores Sony's fears about South Africa in the 2010s becoming a one party state under the African National Congress, and includes a song about chemical warfare scientist Wouter Basson. South African Rolling Stone compared it to the KLF, Sly and Robbie and Pink Floyd, and described its "slow evolution of nuance" towards the "desolately upbeat" "Hostile Takeover". Sony says the album was mostly written on the train while commuting to work; he calls the genre "Voktronic, ... a blend of folktronic, and volkspiele with a dose of electronic experimental dubstoep and experimental rolled up into one fat two blade stereo hit." Warrick toured a Kalahari Surfers line-up playing eleven cities in the UK in 2010 with the African Soul Rebels tour alongside Oumou Sangaré and Orchestre Poly Rythmo de Cotonou.

Childe, Cromwell. “Exiles of the Orient: Queer Types Found in New York's Syrian Quarter.” The Washington Post. August 21, 1899. p. 4. Once a pervasive building type in the area, these “old law” tenements were “low, red brick tenements whose fronts [were] scrawled over with fire escapes” and consisted of apartments of three or four rooms and “whose rears opened down into desolately dark courts.”“A Bit of Syria Between the Skyscrapers: Lower New York.” The Baltimore Sun. March 22, 1931, p. SM 16. Like most other tenements in Little Syria, No. 109 Washington Street had a commercial space of two large rooms on the ground floor. Although there is little documentation of the tenement's early inhabitants or the use of the ground floor storefront, three Syrian immigrants ran cigar factories at 57 and 109 Washington Street in 1894 and were caught for fraudulently putting on revenue stamps for tax purposes on their products.

The song "Q Quarters" - called "desolately beautiful" by Smash Hits \- ends with the striking lines: "Washing down bodies / Seems to me a dead-end chore / Floors me completely / Beauty drips from every pore". Washing down bodies was a job that Billy Mackenzie said his grandmother did during World War II. The song "Kitchen Person" features a rhythm taken from an electric typewriter and Billy singing down the tube of a vacuum cleaner (an effort that earned them Single of the Week in Melody Maker). The album title had a literal origin: the fourth drawer down in a chest in the band's flat at the time contained their supply of "over the counter herbal relaxant tablets that when taken by the handful... would acts as a sleeping aid as well as producing a pleasant bedtime buzz." The cover shot was taken in the swimming pool of the recording studio they used in Oxfordshire.
