It's been chaotic. We know. Everything is changing all around us, happening in such a fast pace that it gets hard to keep up with all the changing faces, places and idealisms in our collective existence. There's a strange feeling around these days. Hard to put a name on it, or even describe it. We know, we feel it too.
Over the past 3 years, we thought about our existence a lot. Should we keep going? Can we keep going? Do we want to keep going? The answers to these question have changed more often than we expected.
Everyone was trying to tell us that everything's ok. We always felt that it was not.
From being reduced to capitalized human data to the struggle of comprehending a world that we do not think is enough for us or for our future, this record is full of straight-up songs brimmed with nervous energy, making them wobbly and on the edge of calamity.
It's a cathartic expression of what we always felt but ignored: we're angry and we want to talk about it. Delivered like a cartoon skit where the train starts trembling and squealing, at a speed where one small pebble could derail it.
And this train will take you to the most unexpected places - sometimes at extreme volume and ear-grinding sonic annihilation, other times on the wings of seemingly floating synths and reverberated vocal pads. Rest assured, there will be moments at which you'll wonder which part of all of this you’re actually supposed to be enjoying, but you'll always come back for the weirdness of it.
It doesn't provide a model for a better society, or a script for you to follow, and no verdict on our crimes. It leaves you with the knowledge that we're all our own worst enemies, the most brilliant engineers of our own miserable decadence, because the truth is we're the only ones who know how pathetic we truly are.
It's a new journey for us - thanks for sticking around, and welcome if you've just hoped on.
