Eddy Derecho is the second album from the Chicago-based sonic collective Evidence of a Struggle. This Album was released May 2nd 2025 on The Glue Factory Records, distributed through The Orchard and Burnside Distribution Inc. 
W P C Simmons V (Rev. Billy), Matt Walker, Alan Berliant, Solomon Walker, and John Airo have worked for most of 2024 weaving a dense tapestry of sonic, musical, lyrical, and visual ”observations” of what’s happening in our world now, what’s happened in the past, and what may happen in the future. Rev. Billy said, ”The music and videos we’ve created for this record have really helped us make sense personally, and as a collective of what’s going on in our world, how it’s effecting and affecting everyone regardless of their race, religion, color, ability, or socioeconomic standing. Maybe our music can help us recognize a better way to approach the idiocy happening in this world.  The wars, inequity, inequality, pain, suffering, anger, maybe it can help everyone else really look at themselves a little closer and not become part of the problem.” Ennn-joy.

I don't have the skills to pull it off, but in my head...I can see, ASTONISHINGLY CLEARLY, what the video for today's Interbay track would look like.  A single astronaut docks their spaceship to another...and wanders around the empty halls of what is proving to be a derelict ship, and occasionally looks out into the emptiness of space.  The thumbnail image suggests the last shot--which is this lonely astronaut looks balefully at the planet below and the camera pulls back to show the scale of how lonely space travel might be...  

That doesn't HAVE to be the interpretation that YOU get out of "You're Not Around"--certainly, the vocals weren't originally created with anything close to that in mind.  But there are some sound effects that COULD suggest such a narrative (the sound of docking, the hum and throb of engines and generators...etc...)  

This might be my best post-punk/darkwave sort of track yet, at least as part of this Interbay music project.  I get a Siouxsie & The Banshees...but with Kate Bush as the lead singer...vibe from this.  I think I got a few really good sounds--the vaguely Asian sounding guitar chords, the way you can feel the wooden resonance of the bass guitar.  

Proud of this one.  Happy to share it with you.  Hope you like it too!

Give it a listen and a like!  Consider reposting it or sharing it.  Drop a comment on it or add it to a playlist.  And it would awesomme if you followed this page for more Interbay--did you know that a brand new, never-heard-before, track is being dropped EVERY SINGLE DAY (so far!)  

This is the 355th straight day where an Interbay track has posted here on SoundCloud.  That means we're getting ever closer to a full year of daily track drops--which sure sounds impressive, even to me.  

It would be wonderful if you came along for the ride!
