about

Warped synths, eerie vocals and bleakly distorted guitar set the scene for the soundtrack of a dystopian world where the lines have been blurred between sci-fi and reality. Electronic riffs dance around resonant industrial guitar, descending with a groan towards a glitched vocal automation brimming with apocalyptic undertones. Signature lux harmonies and snappy percussion ensure a smooth ride, even if it is straight into the eye of destruction.

Ellis writes: Inspired by an episode of Black Mirror, I wanted to lyrically play with a world where our fascination with consumerism becomes so extreme that it comes at any cost; there’s some very unsubtle truths about lives lived without corporal human contact, and a planet being poisoned and destroyed, one eco system at a time.

lyrics

Ahhhh Ahh
This is what you came for
A million follows and they just can’t get enough
This is what you stay for
You make your money and then they get their rocks off

A burning beach and a sea of fire
Couldn’t burn through this virtual desire
A burning beach and a sea of fire
Couldn’t drown out this virtual desire

This is what you came for
A shot of dopamine to keep the blues at bay
This is what you stay for
The voyeurs who like to watch you night and day
This is what you play for
Tap the screen baby make it all ok

“Ensuring the successful facilitation of 21st century communication between you, me and them.”

“Safely share your ideas, dreams and hopes for the utopian existence of the human civilisation via the instigation of your digital imagination.”

A burning beach and a sea of fire
Couldn’t burn through this virtual desire
A burning beach and a sea of fire
Can’t drown out this virtual desire

A burning beach and a sea of fire
A burning beach and a sea of fire
A burning beach and a sea of fire
A burning beach and a sea of fire

A burning beach and a sea of fire
Couldn’t burn through this virtual desire
A burning beach and a sea of fire
Can’t drown out this virtual desire
