Lyrics - 
Why can’t I just lock into a Polly pocket
It could all be crystal clear 
Keep a photo of you in my locket 
addicted to the comfort 
Till the comforter gets 
too hot too hot to sleep 
I’m tossing and tearing 

I need a breeze
Whisk me away 
I need to breathe
Nothing to say

Snap you in and out of my direction 
Running to you from both ends 
Wanna keep you close for my protection
The delusion keeps me safe
No sleep 
Next plane 
No sleep 
Make up 
Next club 
Next car 
Next plane 
No sleep 
No fear 

I need a breeze 
Whisk me away 
I need to breathe 
Nothing to say 

Gimme that street rat 
Street rat 
black car 
white trail 
Chem trail 
White line 
Rub me Like a genie 
You’re a genius 
And I need that 
Can’t fuck w a dummy 
Ya you know that 
Cus you know me 
Know me like that 
Looking at each other like
freeze tag 
Freeze tag 

I need a breeze 
Whisk me away 
I need to breathe 
Nothing to say t I just lock into a Polly pocket
It could all be crystal clear 
Keep a photo of you in my locket 
addicted to the comfort 
Till the comforter gets 
too hot too hot to sleep 
I’m tossing and tearing 

I need a breeze
Whisk me away 
I need to breathe
Nothing to say

Snap you in and out of my direction 
Running to you from both ends 
Wanna keep you close for my protection
The delusion keeps me safe
No sleep 
Next plane 
No sleep 
Make up 
Next club 
Next car 
Next plane 
No sleep 
No fear 

I need a breeze 
Whisk me away 
I need to breathe 
Nothing to say 

Gimme that street rat 
Street rat 
black car 
white trail 
Chem trail 
White line 
Rub me Like a genie 
You’re a genius 
And I need that 
Can’t fuck w a dummy 
Ya you know that 
Cus you know me 
Know me like that 
Looking at each other like
freeze tag 
Freeze tag 

I need a breeze 
Whisk me away 
I need to breathe 
Nothing to say

Amnesia Scanner & Freeka Tet - STROBE.RIP
Label: PAN
Cat.No.: PAN 139
Release Date: 16 June 2023
Purchase: PAN.lnk.to/STROBE.RIP

Amnesia Scanner’s third full-length album titled STROBE.RIP is a collaboration with the artist and musician Freeka Tet, who joins the album and associated live performances as a vocalist and creative collaborator.

Released by PAN records, STROBE.RIP is part of a broader series of live performances, installations, videos and physical products created by the group.

Since its inception in 2014, Ville Haimala and Martti Kalliala have continued to evolve and redefine Amnesia Scanner through experimentation across online and IRL realms. This album brings them a step closer to the latter.

With French-born, New York City-based Freeka Tet on board, STROBE.RIP acquires a new array of influences that draw from the multidisciplinary artist’s hacker mindset, shaping the sound into new forms. As a programmer and technologist, Freeka Tet’s work straddles commerce and art, combining intuitive and performative modes of expression with emergent technology and creative coding. Much like Amnesia Scanner, Tet draws from online vernacular and techno-magic to create satirical, uncanny work – artificially augmented, and highly engineered sounds, textures, images and ideas that translate memes and code into a more human and affective language.

Haimala and Kalliala say, “Amnesia Scanner is now living in the world it has built,” signaling a sincere commitment to the act. The human dimension in STROBE.RIP is chaotic: a reverse hero’s journey that merges deep-fried baroque with the quasi-angelic into a psychotic megamix of tropes, lyrics, genres, and sonic palettes that are both disorienting and deeply resonant.

The opening track Tongue Demons perfectly summarizes this, with blaring synth stabs and frenetic drum patterns paving the way for a broken melody arranged through a digital brass chord progression. Giggle and Bounds follow right after: two outstanding pieces of introspection signaling the melodic turn of the album, with the latter almost posing as a weirdo 2-step ballad filled with deep pads and pitched-up and down vocals.

The 160bpm, 4-to-4 pulsing kicks of Ledge and the palm-muted chords of Disperse serve as a perfect build-up to Ride, right in the middle of the tracklist: a summer hit from hell, a crooked saxophone-graced tune carried by a crusty, Balearic acoustic arpeggio. The alt acoustics continue with Damon, or at least before the track turns from Nirvana’s Unplugged to Slayer’s double kick drum pedals and becomes thrashtronica with Tet on screamo duties.

Things get softer with Clown, specifically in the chanted refrain, and even more aetherial in the almost trip-hop timbres of abandoned.club, where chopped-and-screwed vocals sing “I lost myself in the club.” Scorpions, Bats & Spiders is the abstract gem declaring the death of Deconstructed Club Music—a genre created by journalists and pioneered by the duo, among others. The words “deconstructed,” “club,” and “panel discussion” are spelled out in a vortex throughout the track as if they were to be carved on the genre’s imaginary gravestone. Closing the album, the saw bass of Cat serves Euro-electro à la Benny Benassi’s Satisfaction, while the doomed outro Merge closes the album in a triumphant aggregation of noise and pixelated drums that render the image of a crust-punk ensemble.

“Sunshine”
By Prinxy 

You used to bring me light
You used to be my ray 
Now all we do is fight 
Now nothing ever feels the same 

Break a piece of my heart and my mind 
I’m always trapped inside my mind 
you used be a piece of mine
You used to be my peace of mind

I should’ve seen the signs now every night I cry 
You used to make the clouds go away 
And now they always stay 
You used to make me feel warm inside but now Ive gone insane 
See the rain and nothings fine 
Now I’m sick of the sunshine  

Give me everything I don’t need 
Excuses with you are so extreme 
Nothing with you is how it seems 
And that’s how I always bleed 

Sky turns grey you cut me with you lies this ain’t no lil peep 
Keep trapped inside your life you said smile don’t make a peep 
Yellow like a peep you used to be my sun when you’d come around 
baby Come let’s watch the rain as it’s falling down 

Sunlight on my skin you used to be my light 
You used to be my ray 
Now we always fight 
Now nothing ever feels the same 
You broke my heart and broke my mind 
I’m always trapped inside my mind 
you used be a peice of mine
You used to be my peace of mind
 
I should’ve seen the signs now every night I cry 
You used to make the clouds go away 
And now they always stay 
You used to make me feel warm inside but now Ive gone insane 
See the rain and nothings fine 
Im sick of you my sunshine <3
