This is not quite the Prurient you may know. Dominick Fernow can normally be found rolling on a dirty cement floor screaming into a microphone creating a seemingly unbreakable wall of white noise that's enough to make dog's eardrums implode. Sexual Magic however takes a quieter route centered around a deep drone.
The album borrows a piano line from French classical composer Erik Satie's song Gymnopédies for the first two tracks. It creates a calm feeling of being at sea drifting away. As the album progresses though the sea gets more choppy and the winds pick up. Though it never goes into full on Dom Static Madness it certainly gets harsher. The drones get louder and faster moving. By the time "Forests, Black and Low" begins the ship has began to sink. It all cuts away, and you have drowned.
