Pharmakon (music)

Pharmakon is the solo experimental music project of Margaret Chardiet, based out of New York City and formed in 2007. Pharmakon's live musical act has been described as confrontational and concise, attempting to "cross the boundary between performer and audience".

History
Growing up in New York City, Chardiet has been a prominent figure in the underground, experimental music scene since the age of 17. Her involvement in Far Rockaway's Red Light District collective helped inspire her to create her music. Her self-titled debut EP was released on the BloodLust! label in 2009. Signing to Sacred Bones Records, she released her first full-length album, Abandon, in 2013. For her second full-length release, Bestial Burden, Chardiet stated that the main inspiration for the album was her abrupt surgery, explaining that her experiences made her feel a disconnect with her physical body and her mind. The third Pharmakon album, Contact, was released by Sacred Bones on March 31, 2017. Chardiet released her fourth full-length Pharmakon album, Devour, on August 30, 2019. After a hiatus of almost five years, she announced her new album, Maggot Mass. It was released on October 4, 2024. == Discography ==
