Bec Plexus // "living in today's world is incredibly exciting, while being terrifyingly challenging at the same time. Igor C Silva and Laura Nygren managed to capture this experience into this tense, tense song. globalisation, gentrification, the rise of technological omni-presence - it seems to be a bunch of clichés already, but yet, i can’t manage to get past it. an unease that the music certainly won’t hide.
hypernormalization is the prequel to STICKLIP, a record which serves as a confession booth. i asked eight music friends what they wouldn't dare to say out loud. together we turned these stories into this, well... wondrous thing. a collection of songs to gasp at. songs to jump to. a permission to scream."
hypernormalization is out now on New Amsterdam Records.
released December 10, 2019
