German electro-industrial act Neon Insect has released its ambitious full-length Liberty Flowers and served a video for "There Is Beauty In Noise".
Liberty Flowers sheds some light on different aspects of life in New Moscow, when unrest slowly settles in, even though everything is to oppress its citizens. The ever-recurring concept of Neon Insect's music features the only habitable place in North America. It's a dystopian version of New York in an alternative timeline, serving as an experimental playground for implants, cyborgs and indoctrination.
With this album, Neon Insect also takes you on a trip sonically, with noises sounding like they've been taken straight from a dystopian nightclub, combined with analogue madness. The goal of this record was to rephrase the grit of old-school, early-90s electronic-industrial music while not shying away from crossing some boundaries. Liberty Flowers is a love letter to this era of music.
Neon Insect (Nils Sinatsch) is a dystopian storyteller, telling tales from New Moscow - New York in an alternative reality, where the Cold War went hot and the Soviets won.
As a citizen somewhere in Germany by day and a rebel by night, Neon Insect fetches the stories through the cyber web from his contacts in New Moscow - the only habitable city in a nuked America, where cyborgs rule the streets, where lower Manhattan is a prison and the last bastion of the local rebellion.
The stories are in an old-school industrial fashion, the sound of the Cold War, enhanced with stutters and glitches, the sound of the cyber web - a soundtrack George Orwell would approve of. Link
