Synthwave for the Soul - Week 7/7/19

"When you are studying any matter or considering any philosophy, ask yourself only what are the facts and what is the truth that the facts bear out. Never let yourself be diverted either by what you wish to believe, or by what you think would have beneficent social effects if it were believed."

Bertrand Russell (Interview 1959)

COSMIC DEATHBED

Darklight has two meanings for me. 

First it's a portrait.. you could even call it a love letter, to the independent producer community. People often only see the end result of a track. the polished final product. What most people don't realise is the sheer volume of hard work that goes into personal and skills development,  technical competencies, mixing, mastering, sound design and composition. 
Then there's marketing, promotion, branding, networking, social media management, ads and analytics... all of which is underpinned by a 24/7 focus to do their best work every day. 
And it's hard. Especially when you get flippant comments from playlist curators (literally every artist I know has experienced this) who really should know better...

Many producers quit. All producers find some days harder than others, trying to make space for their passion alongside work, family and life in general. But sheer determination and commitment pushes them on, through the dark days, to find th moment where something clicks. The adrenalin from producing something that expresses that which you intended, perfectly. There's no better feeling. 

It's also a self portrait. 

Darklight has been a hugely challenging production to complete - 63 tracks,. 11 changes and a lot of clashing sounds in the early stages of development .But I'm really proud of the final product. It encapsulates the sound I want to make. A blend of light ethereal sounds, coupled with dark undertones. A fusion of dark and light. Energy and trepidation. 
I'm so happy with the result and I truly hope you enjoy it!

Color Out of Space - Resident Synthwave master Bone McCoy serving us this Lovecraftian horror of a track. The downturn, the crescendo to its swelling synth score.  It's the story-telling you’ve come to expect from Bone McCoy in their tracks. It carries the mysteriousness of the unknown yet there’s a sense of finality to it all.

This is an anthem to those who are alone in their rooms and struggling to get through it all. When we sing about "The Outward", we are referring to a dark world inside of us. The cover art is our Mom's hallway, where we record. Family photos on the walls and all.  

Every Bandcamp purchase of our new single will also include in email:

LYRICS// 
When you get to the Outward 
Don't forget to give me a call 
Cuz when you get to the Outward 
You'll see it's where I belong 

And it reminds me 
That we're so alone 
We're so unsure 

We're alone in our rooms again 
Alone in our rooms again 

When you get so far down on yourself 
You wanna die 
So when you get to the Outward 
You know just where to find me 

And it reminds me 
That we're so alone 
We're so unsure 

We're alone in our rooms again 
Alone in our rooms again
