Kenny Becker started making music for the moments where he had all his senses firing. That is, he has a medical condition that results in periodically losing his sense of smell and hearing. His debut EP as Goon, “Dusk Of Punk,” came out in September and there’s a full-length coming sometime this year. “Cammie At Night” is a nice, loud, grungy song, melodic even when it’s thrashing around and knocking things over. It was recorded by Gardens & Villa’s Chris Lynch and Adam Rasmussen, mixed by Lewis Pesacov and mastered by Daniel Brouns.

“I wrote this song as an expression of sexuality through a sort of pure-human carnal lens,” says Becker, as it relates to his own personal relationship with religion and “the deep desire to break out of that repression.” He continues, “… having my sexuality dictated to me by church leaders definitely did more harm than good. Entirely unrestrained sexual urges obviously aren’t healthy either, but this song is just a meditation on the fact that my deepest human desire was so quickly locked up and considered something to be ashamed of, at such a formative age. There was just too much shame. And I was so curious for a very long time. Turns out, the stigma and shame still linger.”
