Synth-aesthetica: synth pop, indie electronic & other synthethic beauty

While we were working on the song, a random debate about different versions of #Hurt (Nine Inch Nails vs. Johnny Cash vs. everything else) sparked in the office. When we revealed we were working on our own rendition, we ended up playing our (at that time unfinished) track for our colleagues. The moment a guys from nearby office rushed in, frantically Shazaming, we knew we were onto something.

Our interpretation of Hurt takes a synth-based approach with a dream pop base and the trademark vulnerability of &Tilly. The theme is so close to our own musical universe, and we're thrilled with how our Hurt turned out.

The accompanying video was filmed at the abandoned Eastern State Penitentiary in Philadelphia, lending the song a somber yet fitting vibe that we accentuated with red and blue tones. We hope you can resonate with our take on this legendary song, although part of us hopes you can't - because if you can, it means you've experienced your own share of hurt, too.

We also highly recommend visiting the Eastern State Penitentiary if you're ever in Philly. It's a controversial piece of history and architecture that left a huge impression on us 👉 https://easternstate.org

Hurt lyrics:

I hurt myself today
To see if I still feel
I focus on the pain
The only thing that's real

The needle tears a hole
The old familiar sting
Try to kill it all away
But I remember everything

What have I become?
My sweetest friend
Everyone I know goes away
In the end

And you could have it all
My empire of dirt
I will let you down
I will make you hurt

I wear this crown of thorns
Upon my liar's chair
Full of broken thoughts
I cannot repair

Beneath the stains of time
The feelings disappear
You are someone else
And I am still right here

What have I become?
My Swedish friend
Everyone I know goes away
In the end

And you could have it all
My empire of dirt
I will let you down
I will make you hurt

If I could start again
A million miles away
I would keep myself
I will find a way

You didn't ask for it. You don't need it. You definitely don't want it, but here it is. 
It was inspired by a friend mishearing the lyric 'smash mirrors' as 'smash meadows', hence it being indie-folk AF.
Recorded on my bedroom floor, through my iphone headphone mic because I believe in lo-fi. And i'm cheap. ENJOY
