"Spears Into Hooks" is like an electronic opera which appeals simultaneously to the young fan of The Aphex Twin and to the more mature admirer of Penderecki. It sounds like nothing else, yet alludes at times to industrial music, German Expressionism, avant-rock & more. Numerous layers of textures and innovative, bold sound-processing were used throughout the album in order to create dramatic aural images which speak directly to the subconscious and reinforce the more verbal/political aspect of Meira's message, which deals with oppression, confrontation, and uses the Israeli/Palestinian context as a a model for the ethnic/religious/geopolitical conflicts around the globe and throughout history. Beware: this album is a nightmare… An exorcism... Dark voodoo to neutralize malevolent forces, to conjure ghosts from recent and current history… no fun, no escapism… This album is a warning alarm…. This album is only for the strong-minded.

The album was produced by Meira
Asher in collaboration with pk aka Paul Kendall (Mute Records, Nine Inch Nails, Depeche Mode, Wire). Since her debut album “Dissected”, press and public alike have welcomed Israeli vocalist/composer/percussionist Asher both as a deeply original new artist and as an emblematic figure which represents an uncompromising, politically-aware, peace-seeking generation of Israelis.
