Ghost Town.. The future of the largest cities.. where little or nothing will remain

Ghost Town

Survive

DRINKING ALONE

Giving into love
For this world can scare me no more
Getting high on fun
No, no one can leave me a dry bone 
Don't wanna fight, just take what's mine

Down the empty road
My carnival of unbound dreams go
Do I take it too slow?
I'll be my judge, choose another scapegoat
I wish you well, so don't give me hell

Don't place your bet on a cloudy sky
When you can see a ray of light 
Your horizon is the same as mine
Why become the hunter and hunted?

And the games begin
A push and a shove - what’re you after
I'll go another way
The world’s my stage and I’m the ringmaster
You aim your gun, I win with none

Don't you fear reaching for the sky
Don't condescend by an extra mile
Your horizon is the same as mine
Why become the hunter and hunted?

There's a million reasons to wanna feel alive 
There's a million reasons not to feel alright
Which one do you choose
Don't drag me in too

Don't place your bet on a cloudy sky
When you can see a ray of light 
Your horizon is the same as mine
Why become the hunter and hunted?

The Hunter And Hunted (with John Henderson and Du Brae)

Coming Out is a song about personal liberation and embracing one's true self, applicable to a variety of situations. Whether it's about revealing a hidden identity, breaking free from societal expectations, or overcoming internal struggles, the song attempts to capture the courage it takes to step into the light and own who you are!!

Logic is having a meltdown, it needs a bit more work but will do for now as a demo :-)

Coming Out (Demo)

In the Christmas story, the wise men come from the East and follow the star of Bethlehem.
Once there, they ask:
- Where is he?
- The newborn and King of the Jews
- We have come to pay homage to him

King Herod has learnt that a rival has been born and orders an infanticide
Thanks to a warning from an angel, Mary and Joseph are able to leave for Egypt with the child in time.

The angels flap their wings together to remind the bumblebee of its colony

In winter, only the bumblebee queens from a bumblebee colony survive
Workers and drones die. Only the queen hibernates in a hole in the ground and has a reserve of honey to feed on.

Bumblebees have probably been around for 25 million years.
Mankind and its religions have only existed for a few thousand.
If bees and bumblebees are wiped out, the impact on flora and fauna will be so serious that the mass of humanity will probably only be able to survive for a few years.
So we should definitely pray for the preservation of bees and bumblebees.

Lyrics:
Someone, turned our world into white
With something, that can protect and hide
The panful loss of the sunny days, from last summer
Now it's time to play with our tiny tin toy drummers

It seems that everything is covered by a blanket
Completely embraced, cosily protected
All our worries are forgotton and our life is full of hope
Our world is slowing down, it seems to be enclosed in a snow globe

But I often think of someone, who is not mentioned in our tales
It has been in our world, much longer, than the Christchild himself
There is no sacrifice, of grains and seeds, as we give to the birds
With her golden treasure, made of honey, she would only feel disturbed

The lonely home for the Queen of the Bumblebees
Is a homely hole, deep under our Christmas tree
Where she's counting the days backwards til spring
And she's dreaming of a world, that will be greening again

And then the angels will ask: "Where is she"?
"Who has been born as the Queen of the Bumblebees"?
For we have seen her star, far in the east
And we have come down to earth, to worship her

And when the angels start sing, they buzzing with their wings
She senses cohesion and presence of her colony again
And thanked them, for giving shelter, to her family, in heaven 
On a flowerpollen cloud 

Now the flowers have faded and for the few that have gone 
To sleep underground, a hard time has come
Two feet under in the peat on this christmas eve 
- So alone!

Sometimes, when you feel lonely, in your heart
Remind the Bumblebee, she sleeps, abandon and apart
The scent of gingerbread and marzipan, cannot convince or seduce her
She waits for crocuses and snowdrops, that herald the end of winter

And she's, the one, who doesn't care what you believe
Mohammed, Jesus, Buddha or just any insane shopping disease
No gold, no myrrh or frankincense, in homage to someone
Pray for the Bumblebees instead, before it's all worthless when she's gone

The lonely home for the Queen of the Bumblebees
Is a homely hole, deep under our Christmas tree
Where she's counting the days backwards til spring
And she's dreaming of a world, that will be greening again

And then the angels will ask: "Where is she"?
"Who has been born as the Queen of the Bumblebees"?
We have followed the star, whose light shines so bright
It had lead us to her, in this holy night

And from this holy night, the days will be getting longer 
And slowly our love grows stronger and stronger
And now the christmasbells ringing and we dance and we singing 
And we get on our knees to pray for all the queens...

With all the other Bumblebees 
For her new colony 

And then she let's the bumblebells ring
And dreams of a world so green in spring
Two feet under in the peat 
On this christmas eve 
- So alone!

#indie #original #newmusic #pop #newartist #guitar #acousticguitar #originalsong #positivevibes #motivate #motivation #mentalhealthmatters #mentalhealth #depression 

Verse 1: 
Em, Am, C, 
 if I spew this hate from me,
It’ll grow wings and set me free,
Em, Am, C
So far it can't return.
Em, Am, C, 
I show the love I can’t receive,
Seeing the best in all but me—
Em, Am, C
Irony I can't unlearn 

Pre-Chorus: DD
Em, A7
You can’t teach what you don’t know,
C, Am, D, A7
Preaching love when you’ve got none to show.
Show

Chorus:
Em, Am, C
But maybe, just maybe,
I'll bleed it out,
This hatred in my veins,
It may shout 

Love it will remain.
Even if I drown 
in my own self-hate,
And just rebound.

I'll gather what was lost
Hold what I find 
Forgive what I can't change
Em, Am                                  C, D, A7
To feel free for a moment in time 

Bridge:
Em, Em, Am, Am, C, C, D, D end A7 
I hate my hair, my skin, my mind,
I hate the way I can’t unwind,
The thousand flaws that pile so high,
The few good things I can't find.
I hand out love like candy,
But keep none for myself,
If their minds are like mine,
My words they won’t help.

Chorus:
But maybe, just maybe,
I'll bleed it out,
This hatred in my veins,
It may shout 

Love it will remain.
Even if I drown 
in my own self-hate,
And just rebound.

I'll gather what was lost
Hold what I find 
Forgive what I can't change
Em, Am                                  C, D, A7
To feel free for a moment in time 

Outro:
Em, Am, C
So until then, I’ll love the world,
Though I may never feel its touch.
If kindness is all I leave behind,
Em,                            C, D 
Maybe that will be enough.
                       C, G
that will be enough

🎧 The New Of The Tower
Welcome to a new, underground, dark world...

🎭 Musical Style & Artistic Evolution

🚀 Avant-Garde Dance Music Without Borders
The New Of The Tower is an independent, self-taught project that fearlessly pushes the limits of dance music with a unique fusion of genres. Officially described as a mix of dark techno, tech-house, electro, and experimental pop, it also incorporates elements of trap, punk, and even classical music.

In practice, each track oscillates between club anthems and conceptual sonic experiences. For instance, “Velvet Guillotine” (2025) is a hypnotic techno hymn built on heavy percussion and distorted vocals—a true “surreal sonic ritual” under neon lights.

The sound is always matched by a cinematic, underground aesthetic: strobe lights, cyberpunk visuals, and immersive atmospheres define every release.

🌍 Eclectic Influences & Genre Alchemy

The New Of The Tower draws from a wide range of sonic traditions:

🏴‍☠️ Dark techno and industrial groove infused with gothic textures and anarchic punk (e.g., “BRUTAL!!” — a chaotic journey of distortion and rebellion).

🌍 Afro-Tech House meets rock guitars à la AC/DC in “Love Letters” (124–126 BPM).

👺 “Masquerade of Bass” blends melodic techno, dark psytrance, and retro synth-pop.

💃 Spanish-language tracks like “Marionetas” and “Vidas Rotas” fuse flamenco sorrow with trap beats and deep 808s.

🎷 “2:59 AM” evokes Amy Winehouse-inspired jazzy cloud-rap, while “She Danced Through Storms” travels through deep house and jazz fusion with a cinematic touch.

🧊 “Still Echoing” merges melodic trance with nostalgic 80s synth-pop.

🧬 Each track is a bold cross-genre experiment: from industrial club bangers to dark electronic ballads, always rich in texture and emotion.

🎛️ Sonic Palette: Instruments & Effects

🎹 Synths & Melodies
Analog pads & leads (often vocoder-enhanced) create retrofuturistic atmospheres.
Punk-style distorted guitars and 80s synthwave textures bring cinematic depth.

🥁 Percussion & Rhythms
Hard techno kicks, metallic hi-hats, tribal drums, and trap-style 808s.
Layered acoustic and electronic elements make for dynamic and precise beats.

🌀 FX & Processing
Rich in glitchy clips, VHS noise, deep delays, and reverb-soaked vocals.

Examples: “Love Letters” is drenched in lo-fi and VHS textures; “4 Malos Polvos” features glitchy ambient layers and emotional auto-tune.

🎨 Each sound is carefully crafted to contribute to a vivid, cinematic soundscape.

🎤 Vocal Treatments: A Sonic Chameleon

Vocals range from:
🎙️ Melodic singing (English & Spanish)
🔥 Punk shouting & spoken rap
🤖 Vocoded retro textures (“Still Echoing”)
💔 Melancholic auto-tuned lines (“4 Malos Polvos”)
💣 Confessional, emotionally intense deliveries
🗣️ The voice becomes another instrument of emotion, soaked in effects like reverb, delay, filters—ranging from ghostly whispers to ecstatic screams.

🌑 Emotional Climate & Storytelling

The overall emotional tone is dark, introspective, and visceral.

Themes revolve around:
💘 Passion, heartbreak, rebellion
🧠 Subconscious states & urban alienation
🕯️ Ritualistic, trance-like experiences (e.g., “Velvet Guillotine”)
🌆 Social suffering (“Marionetas”, “Vidas Rotas”)
😈 Raw eroticism & shame (“4 Malos Polvos”: “each drop is a stab disguised as a caress”)
🎞️ Romantic melancholy in cinematic settings (“2:59 AM”, “She Danced Through Storms”)
🎬 Each track unfolds like an emotional chapter, offering catharsis, vulnerability, and mystery.

📽️ Conceptual Artistry & Vision

The New Of The Tower is not just music—it's an immersive audiovisual concept.

💀 Explores themes of dystopia, poverty, guilt, rebellion
🏙️ Brutalist club visuals, cyberpunk aesthetics
🕯️ Emotional depth with non-commercial intent
🎭 “4 Malos Polvos” = a “dark confession for love sinners,” cinematic and raw
🌀 Each release = a journey through shadow and rhythm
🕺💀 Dance meets darkness—a kind of electronic film noir where each beat tells a deeper truth.

📈 Style Evolution: From EDM to Darkness

🟢 2019–2022: EDM & electro-pop beginnings (Feel EP, “You And Me” — catchy and bright)

🟡 2024: Transition into melodic techno (“Not Living Without You”)

🔴 2025–Present: Shift to dark techno, darkwave, flamenco-trap, and experimental storytelling (“Velvet Guillotine”, “Marionetas”)

🎭 From mainstream dance-pop to raw, conceptual electronic music—always evolving, always fearless.

🎼 Comparable Artists & Influences

🧩 The New Of The Tower resonates with:

🧨 Brutalismus 3000 (techno-punk dystopia)
👾 Perturbator (dark synthwave)
🌘 Mind Against / Recondite (melodic techno & melancholia)
🎤 Boy Harsher, Massive Attack (dark vocals, trip-hop moods)
🔥 Anyma (techno emotion), Latin trap/fusion for its flamenco-trap leanings
🌌 But ultimately, it defines its own world—one built from dark techno, darkwave, nu-jazz, and trap-rock fusion.
