Mike Textbeak is set to release his new album "Asemic Musick" via Detroit Industrial on 5 December, and I'm happy to present the second single promoting the project. "Entropy Lock" sits on a liminal edge between minimal industrial and dark electro, and features guest vocals from Antoni Maiovvi, who has appeared on the pages of this blog under many of his producer guises. Antoni was actually kind enough to share a few thoughts about his lyrics: "While I can never say for sure where songs come from, people who have met me will know me to be quite a jovial person in real life, but for some reason the vast majority of the songs I’ve written have been fairly to very dark. I also don’t want to misdirect anyone from being able to project their own thoughts and feelings and interpretations on my words, but in order to not go full David Lynch and explain nothing, I will say that the central theme could be interpreted as: change." "Asemic Musick" follows up the 2021 remix LP "Sick For Songs A Season Eats Remixes" and delves into themes of confusion, chaos and magick in the current zeitgeist. You can pre-order the album here.
