Texas/California (USA) based psychedelic cyber-synth rock duo Private Life presents their debut album, Silent Partner, ready for release on 17th August through Dark Operative Digital. The first single, "Bloody Blister" has been debuted and you can hear it in the player below.
Private Life is the collaborative project between Christopher Royal King (This Will Destroy You) and drummer/multi-instrumentalist Sam Chown (Shmu). The impetus stemmed from King's desire to start a high BPM, futuristic cyber-synth group comprised of him on modular synths with the accompaniment of drums.
Silent Partner is a fascinating blend of cyberpunk, dream pop, psych, prog, and kraut vibes from the '70s, bits of thrash, and modern modular electronic synths. Think of it as the latest operating system update for a computer with plenty of Talking Heads, Gang Of Four, and Bloc Party on the hard drive. The album is completed with psychedelic cover art by Keith Rankin.
Sam Chown notes of the "Bloody Blister" single: "The lyrics and the story behind "Bloody Blister" are purposefully abstract, making the meaning multi-interpretational. To me, the lyrics almost read like a Lynch film in which the plot is offered in non-linear bits and pieces, inviting the viewer, or in this case listener, to do the interpretational heavy lifting of the abstractions offered - I like writing lyrics that create a visual image that complement the sonic mood. My lyrics have more emphasis on a visual and emotional than a linear thought or clear plot-based story. when I showed my friend the song recently, he told me it sounded like black metal dream pop that he had never heard this particular blend of styles before in his life - I didn't really see it that way while creating it, but I love that it can be interpreted in that light!"
