Vektroid has announced a new album titled Seed & Synthetic Earth. The nine-track release is described as “The Second Prelude,” which serves as a spiritual follow-up to 2016’s RE•SET, a.k.a. “The First Prelude.” Both releases act as preludes to the long-anticipated Vektroid album, No Earth.
To give a taste of what she’s been up to, Vektroid has shared the new album’s gorgeous intro track, “We Need To Talk.” In contrast to the muffled digital breakdown of RE•SET, “We Need To Talk” is a synthetic odyssey of internalized non-emotion, furnished with plastic guitar melodies, breezy programmed rhythms, and an impossible, intricate mixture of scaling artifice and exploratory synthscapes.
Seed & Synthetic Earth is out Friday via Vektroid’s Bandcamp. Watch the video for “We Need To Talk” here:
