It's been chaotic. We know. Everything is changing all around you, happening in such a fast pace that it gets hard to keep up with all the changing faces, places and ideas 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 decided to work on something new, building new grounds for us to express what has become of us as pieces in a puzzle. We realised pretty early that these collection of songs are a bit more complex, kind of experimental in its composition, angry and a little bit resentful on how we see the world around us.
Everyone was trying to tell us that everything's gonna be ok. We always felt that it's not.
From being reduced to capitalised human data to the struggle of comprehending a world that we do not think is enough for us or for our future, this album was a cathartic expression of what we always felt but ignored: we're angry and we want to talk about it.
Probably the best way to explain this lies within the lyrics: "I've been holding my breath for so long / That I no longer know how to exhale".
Musically it's all over the place - mellow, almost ethereal ballads collide with disco beats and rebellious punk attitude, motorik beats jump into frenzied elevator music. A sense of urgency and paranoia revolves around the whole record, like it’s going nowhere and everywhere at the same time.
It’s full of ups and downs, sounds disassociated, on the edge, sinister and confusing. Quite like the way we felt for the last couple of years.
