Swan lakeKicking the EP off is a beautiful electro rearrangement of tchaikovsky's "Scene" from the Swan Lake Suite. This track serves as both a nod to the prolific composer and as an introduction to the theme of beauty and fear represented throughout the project.
As well as sampling Swan Lake, this song references the iconic debut single of KUDZU KIDZ: KUDZU IS COMING. |
Tech no logicThis song is about a dystopian reality of technology dependence. The idea of AI taking over all for the sake of lining our overlords' (billionaires) pockets.
It's almost a Frankenstein-ish story of a mad scientist creating a monster that even he cannot control. This monster however is not the fictional (for now) AI emperor, but the current reality of capitalism in America. |
FanfareGiven that wealth inequality in America is higher than that of France in the French Revolution, it feels fitting to put Marie Antionette on the alternate cover for this song. (Though she is not to blame, but more of a symbol of this contrast in wealth.)
This interlude is medieval-style, harpsichord-inspired fanfare serves as a (satirical) introduction to the wealthy individuals who currently rule over us. |
Animal farmAnother reference to a famous piece of Russian media, this song is not about the Russian Revolution but actually about America under Trump and the domestic terrorist attack on the Capitol Building on January 6th.
It's scary how easily people comply to the demands of a fascist (who was never smart enough to truly take over). This song is about the chaos of the world falling apart. |
Burn it down / Rave gone wrongThis track is about how in life you only have so much time, and if your doing something that you don't love you shouldn't waste your time. Put simply, this song is saying that it's ok to quit.
Perhaps when looked at in the scope of the other tracks, this song is calling for an end to the current system in America. The club-like rave-style ending serves as a wake up to a horrific reality. |
