Carnival Prozac Dreams was an electroclash duo formed in Berlin in the late 1990s. The group consisted of vocalist Barbie Butcher and electronic musician Ken Down. Their sound mixed electroclash with techno and industrial elements, with lyrics that often took on gender roles and consumer culture.
Some listeners accused the duo of misogyny, though they maintained the work was meant as social commentary. Other songs like "Coulrophobia" and "Disaster" appeared in their catalog alongside that signature track.
They released several albums including The Electric City in 2001, The New Flesh in 2004, and Goldmine in 2007. The duo eventually announced their breakup, though the exact circumstances and timing aren't clearly documented in available sources.
Keep it compact: a lyric you come back to, a live memory, or the part of the catalog you would point someone toward first.
