WL//WH is pleased to premiere “Really Nothing”, the debut video by the North London denizen Minimal Synthetic Punk project Molecül, a first glimpse of the debut album, “Tired of Thinking,” soon to be released via the Greek independent label DYSTATIK.
Following last December’s first 3-tracker “EP I”, the elusive British musician draws out, through a sharp-edged, visceral and angular approach to the Minimal Synth specimen, an electrifying and sinister dose of gritty and discordant synth riffs, guttural droning bass, barebone, stark, fractured drum patterns, and a scowling dystopian vocal delivery.
“From the shadows of the city primeval,
shiny penthouse with a view of the sea.
From the subway where the sun doesn’t reach,
decayed dreams of an endless beach.”
Looming waves of heavy mutated auras sway around taut metronomic ticking hi-hats, driving through an oppression of skewed buzzing mists from jittery bass pulses, desolate, spindly icy melodies, and shivering and sizzling synth strains, to slowly yet harshly seep over agitated and confused spoken words, rising into strained distorted rants and distant dystopic cries, whilst reflecting on the dreams and frustrations of modern city existence.
“Overcrowded Jubilee line trains, the 9-5 drudge, waiting for the C11 bus that never comes and walking down Shootup hill in the freezing rain of the endless London winter.”
Black and white filters flatten and distort Molecül as he performs “Really Nothing” in a full-head wool ski mask, syncing seamlessly with the calamity of the soundtrack. Symbolically, the landscape contains slashed jagged edges and disharmonious shapes that skew perception and alter the mind, causing people to become crippled and restrained toward right action.
Molecül‘s debut album, “Tired of Thinking,” is coming soon via Athens‘ Dystatik label.
