about

This the second single (released 20th December 2019) from the album.

Lyrics and voice are from the venetian singer Ilaria Riccio: she face up contemporary times where tecnology takes control of human life.

Definitely the most Bristol-styled song of the album, with some Portishead/Massive Attack feelings.

lyrics

They entered secretly
Through ignorance
Of the people

In your habits
Day by day
Stealing time and energy

We're all under attack
From the dark side
Of technology

We're all under attack
From the dark side
Of technology

It's time to wake up
Nothing is real
It's time to wake up
Nothing is real
It's time to wake up
Nothing is real
It's time to wake up
Nothing is real

Don't lie to yourself is not a progress
Don't lie to yourself it's a regress

Is there a way to come back?
Is there a way to come back?
Is there a way to come back?
Is there a way to come back?
Is there a way to come back?
Is there a way to come back?

(Day by day stealing time and energy...)

We're all under attack
From the dark side
Of technology

We're all under attack
From the dark side
Of technology

Merci Déhà for the download code. Lots of bands use these ingredients – pretty female vocals over doomy guitars always sounds good, but usually that's where the ideas run out. That isn't the case here. Each song is packed with ideas and evolutions, genres and references it's boring to list but not at all to listen to. A pleasure to have been introduced to this. Luke
