Entropic Collapse

Mecha Maiko (AKA Hayley Stewart) is back with third album NOT OK, which could end up changing the entire landscape of synthwave. The Toronto-based artist has always stood out among synthwave acts for her inventive, dogma-smashing approach to the genre. Her 2018 debut, Mad But Soft, and EP Okiya, from 2019, showed an artist who could produce experimental yet catchy, complicated yet minimalist songs that evoke the delicate and often turbulent relationship between humans and machines. She continued that streak with Let’s in 2019, and loaded it with early ‘90s house and contemporary electro-pop elements that took the songs to dark dance floors splashed in neon pink. It was deeply human but inherently mechanistic.

A lot has happened in the world since then, and NOT OK reflects that — even if the foundation of some of its songs stem from that pre-pandemic, post-Let’s era. Although she started work on the album at rural escape she referred to as “Synthpop Farm,” surrounded by a cornucopia of flora and fauna, she finalized the record in 2021 in Toronto with engineer and producer Jack Marko.

NOT OK tackles the scandalous level of trials the world faces today, including “bogus conspiracy theories, racism, sexism, violence, and environmental destruction,” she says. However, she does this via a kinetic blend of dance-heavy rhythms, captivatingly melodic synths, and an array of experimental sonics that together keep listeners engaged throughout the record’s 50-minute run.

“Hopefully it can validate some of the feelings and frustrations that others have been grappling with, and to serve as a reminder that we don't have to accept things as they are,” Mecha Maiko says. “I also hope it inspires people to deepen their connections to nature, and see just how beautiful life off-screen is.”

Jagged thoughts come to the surface
Rip through skin, blood forms lines
Drips drop down onto wooden floors
Shapes appear, on the decline

Over homes, a mass of flying bugs, surveillance drones
Scanning thoughts within our souls of destroying sculptures
The constructors...of Cybernetic Culture

(solo)

...of Cybernetic Culture (x3)

Is it survivable, will we last, in unreal wilderness?
Is it survivable, will we last, in unreal wilderness?
The coming storm (Violet Storm), will it pass, or bewilder us?

The constructors...of Cybernetic Culture

(solo)

...of Cybernetic Culture (x3)

Is it survivable, will we last, in unreal wilderness?

Confide Alpha Loopy Remix

Symmetrix formed in 2013 with the purpose of creating a sound that would combine both her love of 80's electronica with indie pop and a bit of rock music thrown in for good measure.

Symmetix music draws influence from 80’s synth pop acts such as Depeche Mode through to shoegazing/indie rock pioneers My Bloody Valentine.

Following her 2015 EP, Symmetrix has returned in 2018 with her debut album, ‘Being There’, an introspective compilation of tales exploring lost love, truth and self-understanding.

Symmetrix presents a smooth hybrid of alternative electronica and indie rock utilising a mixture of electro synth beats and guitar driven, indie pop melodies to captivate the listener.
