Dero Goi, the former frontman of Neue Deutsche Härte pioneers OOMPH!, who is releasing his debut album, 1984, on 29 November via Dependent, unveiled the album's title track. Solemn and melancholic, yet crowned with a beautifully spherical refrain, the song is complemented by an animated video that reflects the apocalyptic outlook of its lyrics and much of the album content.
Dero Goi comments: "It describes the Orwellian dystopia in which people have voluntarily agreed to their enslavement. They no longer feel their chains and do not realise the state that they are in due to being totally numb as they have been swallowed up by the matrix and a constant flood of new chemical drugs. '1984' reflects the collective self-destructive madness that our somnambulistic and egocentric society is moving towards. The video nevertheless shows a way out of this dark labyrinth of deception and seduction."
A fascinating fusion of synth-wave, EBM and retro sounds with plenty of contemporary electronic elements, it even delivers a dose of his former life as a rock and metal musician. Always recognised as an outstanding songwriter, Dero Goi has honed his craft to an even sharper edge on this substantial new collection.
