The post Unter Null – Sick fuck EPCD appeared first on Alfa Matrix Store.

“Letting Go” is a lot darker in content, confirming to us that STRAY was neither meant to be a ‘light’ project, nor was it meant to be ‘happy’ because Erica’s main band UNTER NULL is actually quite angry and pissed off. STRAY kind of reflects the feelings of despair and sadness when that anger wears off. This album is actually a great departure from any of her previous works, it’s a lot more polished and full of layered and lush-sounding tracks. Emotional piano tunes echo with melodic electronic sequences and get accelerated by pulsing beats and vibrating bass lines led by Erica’s half-sung half-spoken poignant vocals. The material is melancholy, bittersweet, and a lot of yearning, needing, wanting, and desiring is involved. It’s about feeling disconnected from the rest of the world, from society, from your peers, from your friends, your loved ones, and your family. A track like “Out of Place” kind of sums up that feeling quite well in so many words. Other tracks, such as “No Vacancy”, “Let Me Go”, are sincere with the idea of not understanding peoples’ actions and words, and feeling frustrated without necessary closure. 

We will also notice the exciting remake of UNTER NULL’s “Failure Epiphany” or yet an open reinterpretation of The Flashbulb’s “Passage D”… The album is also available as a deluxe 2CD carton box with a bonus disc including 3 exclusive bonus tracks and remixes by Marc Hurtado / SOL IXENT, KANT KINO, GRENDEL, IVARDENSPHERE, METROLAND, INTERFACE, AESTHETISCHE, KEEF BAKER, MARI CHROME, etc.

Next to this, online orders at www.alfa-matrix.com get the “Holding On” (carton sleeve) bonus album as an extra. This 3rd disc is limited to 99 copies.

STRAY’s sound is identified more by the reverent side of the human spirit, and once viewed through her heart, one can perceive hope and light at the end of this trancey tunnel of melancholy, melodies carrying clear sequences, bittersweet words and mesmerising atmospheres. There is the hope of life even in the darkest of valleys and nature has progressively started taking over again.

Erica unveils with this project an unexpected coiled side of her enigmatic persona and colours her unique intricate song-writing style with a lighter 80’stainted tone. STRAY has a big heart and an open soul yet still has so much more to share. Embrace it.
