Digital Control And Man's Obsolescence is L.O.T.I.O.N.'s debut full-length LP, which is slated for release via La Vida Es Un Mus records on July 31st, 2015.  On their latest full-length LP, L.O.T.I.O.N. offer up eleven tracks of caustic sounding hardcore/punk with a cold, sterile electronic vibe.  Overall, Digital Control And Man's Obsolescence is a killer LP and should not be missed.  Highly recommended!  Enjoy!
