Death by Selfie
TECHNO(O(ON
electropop / synthpop / indie / electronic
The Techno(o(on is that digital bubble that so easily satisfies our desires, yet also traps us—a bubble we sometimes long to escape. This is precisely what Death by Selfie aims to explore with their album, which ventures into new sonic territories, blending electro-organic sounds at the crossroads of Air, Kraftwerk, and Daft Punk. The album charts an imaginative journey both inside and outside the cocoon: into another body, another time, perhaps in a capsule orbiting Earth or in a Megalopolis turned wilderness for an endless safari...
While the album offers its share of grooves and catchy pop refrains, the tracks—often layered and complex—unfold across multiple dimensions, playing with perspectives and attempting sinuous escapes. The studio becomes a cocoon where musical elements fuse, where sounds morph according to inspiration or through random experimentation.
Poetic images and cinematic visions abound in the lyrics, echoing the worlds of Asimov to Kubrick, from K. Dick to Damasio, blending surrealism with science fiction.
True to its hybrid DNA, Death by Selfie moves forward by blurring boundaries, crafting its own unique voice. Half augmented human, half sensitive robot, the group deliberately refuses to choose sides, existing both within and outside the Techno(o(on.
