There was a time when a person would pick up an instrument to compose yet another song for a loved one. A sad figure humming into a microphone, pronouncing the most basic words and forms to convey quantity, quality, fact, statistics and similar sounds describing pain, loss and sorrow. The human brain would perceive the melody sad and perhaps within herself feel a sense of melancholia.

In another parallel world a new composition would then appear. But not one composed on a wooden built instrument, no, sounds made into structures and tables that would assists the listener into providing an additional context and meaning through digital synthesis and quantised harmonies. But who could really tell if these sounds were real? Or where they just sounds impersonating an idea of something?

Rhyme nor reason is as abstract in its shapes and ideas as it is concrete and elegant in its narratives. A carefully crafted wooden cabinet with an over-whelming amount of different drawers and hidden compartments. Each box storing blissful arrangement; a fluorescent stone, a paper note saying something about lunch, some collectible objects, a forgotten token or perhaps an autograph, all so very vibrant and joyful for its possessor.

Deleted files stored on rapidly rotating platters coated with magnetic material. Small, easy to loose SSD memory cards of recorded corrupt files and digital artefacts. Software engineered compositions trying to grasp the shared belief of an upcoming future, vivid and uncertain; birds, waters and long lost recollections. A release unconcerned with the literal depiction of things from the visible world. At least not for now.

Wave Temples - Double Enchantress [Possible Motive]

PRE ORDER: https://possiblemotive.bandcamp.com/album/lost-in-reality


A pungent ooze emanates from the subway. As a sticky drum machine sequence rolls out like thick dark fog, ice cold synth swirls rise from the depths.

Since the debut album Europe By Night, one of the main references associated with Henrik Stelzer and his Metro Riders project has been that of cinema, and particularly the European genre films of the 1980s. With its seedy subject matters manifesting both in visual style and music, the vibe of that era has crystallized over time. Passed down to us from deteriorating video cassettes, it became an invaluable key to decoding our present day reality.

And this is true for this album as well; Stelzer does not hide the fact that he builds heavily on that vibe; referencing it through track titles and utilizing a particular recording setup consisting of a Fostex and a reel to reel in order to achieve and recreate the feeling of those soundtracks — as heard on magnetic tape rather than vinyl.

The motion picture soundtrack as an arbitrary genre definition becomes, in the hands of Stelzer, a pair of X-ray specs for him to envision a kind of music that deals in grains and contrasts rather than hooks and choruses. And like Roddy Piper in John Carpenter’s 1988 film They Live, he hands those glasses over for us to see the true face of our times.

On Lost In Reality Metro Riders maps out an emotional geography of the cities at night, wherein the cinematic haze becomes a tool by which we can view them with new eyes. Not steering away from the darker alleys nor the harsh realities of modern day politics masquerading as progress. Yet escapism, in the end, seems the only viable option. But not as an endgame, but rather a stepping stone for building a new vocabulary for an utopian language.

Swedish experimental imprint @possiblemotive line up an LP featuring eight insightful soundscapes - courtesy of Henrik Stelzer, also known as Metro Riders. Our pick from the album is ‘Shocking Dark’ thanks to its underwater brain massage entangled with crystalline synthesizers and tribal drum rites.

Europe By Night

Metro Riders — Trauma

скільки кахелів на стелі в залі де злягались ми
45 дуже великих і 13 ще дрібних 
перед сном твоє їбало
уявляю під землею 
де його 
круглі черви 
ріжуть на
тонкі нерви
так

ти хуй
я вона 
я знайшла 
я знайшлась 
прочитала книги всі 
слова з яких промовив ти
інтелектуальний звір 
я втрачаю свій зір
я втрачаю свій слух
мене збуджує рух
я малюю своє тіло 
як воно тужно тремтіло 
тааак

я бігла у міжпростір
де я повністю скляна
голови де затискають 
поміж лезами Клюна
я їла чиєсь тіло 
аж на небі посіріло
я всаджала м’ясом стегна
я дуже наполегла
тааак
таааак
тааааак 
тааа а ак

мене вкрай мене вкриють 
викрий що ти загинув 
мені край вкрайнозлістно
я сумую за листям

вкрайнозлісно
