We highlight how Go_A's performances feature an aesthetics of ecstasy and melancholia despite ongoing damage within Anthropogenic late capitalism. We compare two versions of the song, exposing critical contexts for the group's local, transmedial, and international reception. Informed by musicological, eco-critical, post-humanist, historical, and feminist frameworks, our analyses meander through exploratory patches employing concepts such as borderland epistemologies, interspecies connectivity, the gaze, and hyperobjectivity. These juxtapositions reveal how, rather than the sensorial experience of radioactivity as hyperobject, "SHUM" promotes ecologically attuned survival strategies such as the re-integration of "wild" singing styles and ecstatic rituals. "Survival" is understood hereby as a form of resistance that evades the pitfalls of neoliberal resilience. Ultimately, through a participatory aesthetics, Go_A's multimedial performance of "SHUM" invites audiences to imagine a regenerative ecology of survival in the damaged post-apocalypse. pubtype: Academic Journal doctype: Article src: R language: English refInfo: copyright: @attributes: flag: Y custom: Copyright of Popular Music & Society is the property of Taylor & Francis Ltd and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites without the copyright holder's express written permission.
