Australian dark electro act Suburban Spell has released their evocative, new full-length release, Incompatible. Together with the album release, the band also unleashed the video for the track "When I Die".
Incompatible is a dark and atmospheric exploration of the hidden depths of this suburban life. Through haunting melodies and evocative lyrics, the album invites listeners to confront the darkness that lurks beneath the surface of the seemingly ordinary.
Suburban Spell's central themes of living the suburban life, a life of quiet desperation in a suburban setting are apparent throughout the album; the observations, frustration, feelings of being trapped, and not knowing how to escape, mixed with moments of stark realization. Incompatible's songs are more personal and evocative than previous releases. The album takes the listener on a sonic journey into the shadows of the mind, where the familiar becomes unsettling and the ordinary takes on a sinister hue.
Founder Peter Endall comments: "Incompatible features the second single "When I Die", with lyrics that touch on the sensitive subject of dying with dignity and a beguiling musical score which harks back to early Vince Clarke. The convent featured in the video invokes a haunting and mystic quality to the track." Link
