Seattle (USA)-based industrial/darkwave or by some labelled as "turbowave" pioneers, Dual Analog unveiled their new single, "Slave". The song challenges perceptions and takes listeners on a journey through the complexities of desire and intimacy. At first glance, "Slave" may seem to explore themes of S&M, but as with all things Dual Analog, there's more than meets the eye. The lyrics, cloaked in provocative imagery, actually delve into the realm of dissatisfaction and disappointment in sexual encounters, turning the traditional narrative on its head.
"We wanted to play with perceptions of sex and challenge our audience to think beyond the surface", says vocalist Chip Roberts. "The S&M angle is like a lure, drawing listeners in, but once they dive deeper, they'll discover the true essence of the song."
With its pulsating beats, hypnotic melodies, and raw, emotive vocals, "Slave" captures the essence of frustration and longing, painting a vivid picture of the complexities of human relationships. As with their previous releases, Dual Analog delivers a sonic experience that transcends genres, blending elements of post-industrial, NDH, and aggrotech to create a sound that is uniquely their own.
