The Canadian prog/goth rock recording duo Secondhand Depression, featuring Lucas Di Mascio (Malacoda) and Michael Farina (Wolf Saga, ex-Farewell To Freeway), are premiering right here on Terra Relicta web magazine, the lyric video for the track "The Long Road Home". The track is taken from their self-titled EP, which was released in October 2020 but it will be re-released on the 28th of January 2022 on physical editions via Old Haunt Studios.
Formed in the early days of the Covid-19 pandemic, Lucas and Michael started a recording project as a means to test out recording techniques and production ideas. Believing it is collectively some of the best music the duo has created they've decided to release these recordings in a limited edition physical format with a bonus drum sample back made during the recordings to help spark other artists' creativity in these uncertain times.
Secondhand Depression's four-song self-titled EP is filled with dark melodies, creative use of lo-fi elements and percussion, as well as appropriately moody atmospheres. The duo takes its listeners on a DIY goth rock-inspired journey. Songs about life as an artist during the pandemic, holding onto bittersweet memories of touring and band rehearsals as well as the often crippling doubt that infects most (if not all) creatives are the subject matter.
One thing is for certain, Secondhand Depression has embraced its shadow-kissed essence and have manipulated their discomfort into something beautifully raw. Now give a listen and watch the lyric video for the moody "The Long Road Home" exclusively here on Terra Relicta. It's recommended for those of you who like bands such as Katatonia, The Cure, and Type O Negative.
Lucas Di Mascio comments about the song and the video: "This one is probably one of the coolest tracks we've ever written. We tried writing about some pretty innocuous things but then twisting them to make them just slightly darker. There's a lot of cool percussion stuff going on in this one - I think we used things like toy drums, chains... weird stuff like that. The video is really cool, the imagery is exactly the aesthetic we're into."
