The USA-based techno-industrial band RetCon has just released its first EP - EP.01.
EP.01's overarching themes are reflection, conflict, resistance, and redemption, with a dash of twisted romance. It possesses a loose set of narratives that imply a gestalt of resistance to that which would destroy you, with the implication that despite it all, you are worth the effort.
From the disposable capitalist consumerism implied in such a cookie-cutter title to the apocalyptic themes and the implausible romance.
A track like "First Light" adds references to the struggle against imperialism and genocide in Ukraine over lyrics that were originally more applicable to the coming troubles here in the US because they are coming.
Compressing all of human existence into a lens of one impossible year also pokes loving fun at the nostalgic nature of such retro aesthetics. A cyberpunk junkyard Gomi-wizard patching together the discarded pieces of a decadent age into something that could save the protagonists if only they could cooperate.
EP.01 is available now on all digital platforms and right below. Link
