Consent to Treatment

Consent to Treatment is a visceral, high-stakes encounter with a psyche in flux. It sounds like the exact moment a panic attack turns into a moment of clarity, blending the aggressive crunch of turn-of-the-millennium alternative rock with the elegant, mourning cry of a violin. Justin Furstenfeld does not just sing these songs; he inhabits them with a theatrical intensity that borders on the uncomfortable, making the listener a confidant to his most private struggles with bipolar disorder and addiction. It is an album that feels both claustrophobic and expansive, like being trapped in a small room that suddenly opens up into a vast, stormy landscape.
