Bastelbande dive into their downtempo roots with “Shelter Syndrome”. A grooving bass line saturates and wraps around a tight crisp break as guitar leads, pads and an enigmatic vocal performance from Domitie bless our ears at the forefront of this track. An air of melancholy blesses this soundscape of wonder and mystery and as we delve deeper and the track progresses we are met with an impeccable synth lead that extenuates the established grooves and bring this masterpiece to its pinnacle.

Having grown up with and on the internet, Martin Steer (1986) has transformed its pull into a concept album that is just as immediate and intangible as the digital world. Bad Stream is guitars and machines vanishing in the spaces between Radiohead, The Notwist and Nine Inch Nails only to reemerge amidst Ambient, Noise, and Drone. Bad Stream, then, is his modus operandi – a soundtrack to the feelings of resignation, isolation, and cynicism within neoliberal cyberspace and to that strangely numbing comfort of bodies transmuting into zeros and ones in real time.

 “I look at my phone even when I play guitar,” says Martin Steer, “and that isn’t even entirely voluntary. The 2010s really changed my perception of how digital technologies and social media affect me as a musician. Through Bad Stream I want to make sense of this particular kind of anxiety, and to use sensory overstimulation as a way to develop an independent and progressive musical language.” 

The past seven years took Martin and his laptop and guitar from Berlin to Mexico and Nepal and, as a founding member of Frittenbude, into the German charts and to various festival stages. And yet, Bad Stream is a “Berlin album,” with real drums and programmed beats, with shoegaze guitars, piano, smartphone synths, violins and field recordings from the darknet.

The first single is the album’s central piece: Already Dark is distinctly post-industrial in composition, commenting in its seven minutes on our accelerating world of face recognition, big data, species extinction, mind hacks and human uploads. It is a psycho collage about a time, where everything seems to be overheated, simulated and programmed - digital capitalism, polar icecaps, hypertransparent individuals dazed by networks and the total alienation by artificial intelligence and virtual reality. Already Dark is an anti-utopian hymn for a posthuman transition into digital slavery.

The music developed in dozens of recording sessions over a period of more than 2 years. It was inspired by artists like Health, Alessandro Cortini, Daniel Avery, Synthesizer Soundtracks and countless experimental/techno nights in berlin. The song connects styles like Electronica, Shoegaze and Pop Appeal with instruments like piano, theremin, the unique sound of the Tempest Drumsynth and Martin´s distinctive voice.

The mechanical beat pulsates and marches, acoustic and synthetic sounds melt into each other and shape this powerful but vulnerable construct which swells and swells - just till everything implodes in the peaks of a (post)brutal noise nirvana. In it´s eclectic and transformative artistic language Already Dark orchestrates the key-coordinates of Bad Streams vision of future-facing songwriting and progressive sound design.

The music video, produced by Fabian Tschöpl visualizes this very dark metamorphosis of the self and the world with all it´s details symbiotically with glitch techniques, 3D Body Scans and digital distortions.

Already Dark will be released on january 12th digitally including a radio edit and exciting remixes by long-time fellows of the ANTIME Records Cosmos (Felix Primc, Kaigy Etix, Simon Dübel, Dot, Unifono, Blurred Vision,  ^L_,)
