one wrong move

“Algorithmic Truth” confronts the invisible systems shaping modern reality — the recommendation engines, moderation filters, and unseen code that quietly determines what voices rise, which ones disappear, and how truth itself is framed. Set against the raw backbone of Appalachian Americana and Outlaw Southern Rock, the song fuses analog grit with a digital-age warning.

This track speaks to the growing realization that freedom of expression is no longer suppressed only by force, but by math — by engagement metrics, shadow bans, and automated judgments made without accountability. “Algorithmic Truth” rejects passive consumption and calls for awareness, discernment, and human agency in an era where machines increasingly mediate reality.

Musically, the song blends traditional roots instrumentation with subtle synth textures, reinforcing the tension between old truths passed hand to hand and new systems that sort, rank, and silence at scale. It stands as both a protest and a refusal — a declaration that truth does not belong to platforms, code, or gatekeepers.

“Algorithmic Truth” is part of We’re Basically Done, a 35-song protest album documenting cultural fracture, institutional decay, and the quiet rebellion rising across working-class America and beyond.

This song is also part of the Basically Done Original Soundtrack — the official musical companion to Donald E. Pickett’s novel Basically Done and the upcoming Basically Done series/franchise. Together, the music and narrative form a unified cultural chronicle, blending fiction, lived experience, and protest into a single evolving universe.

Calum Foad is a 25-year-old synth-pop artist, hailing from Reading (UK), who has been singing and playing guitar since childhood. Calum quickly developed industry support, writing and recording on both sides of the Atlantic, with producers such as Dan Weller (Enter Shikari, Nina Nesbitt) and grammy nominated Marc McClusky (Weezer, Motion City Soundtrack) - subsequently releasing songs such as ‘You & I’ and ‘Rollercoaster’, and carving out an 80s fuelled synth-driven sound in line with his long standing affinity for the music of that decade. 

Following a successful stint at the start of 2020 writing and recording in LA with producer Nate Merchant (Jason Derulo, Flo Rida, Sam Martin), he returned with a clutch of captivating new songs. Calum is now set to release via his own imprint label ‘Lil Bear Records’, licensed to label services provider ‘MTX’, kicking off on May 29th with the uplifting “Hope”, which, despite being written 4 years prior, gains extra resonance at this time.
