Do you like speculative fiction?!?
Do you like MUSIC?!?
If you answered “YES” to both of those questions, then hoo-wee have we got an album for you! Please continue reading1!!
The album in question is Bath-based producer Odeka’s upcoming dystopian concept album, Rose Tinted Vision Implant, which is apparently set in a “post-Ballard, post-Gibson, post-Miéville alternate reality.” Its plot involves a protagonist who receives a high tech implant manufactured by some sort of future conglomerate/superpower; however, the implant turns out to be faulty, and the listener sonically observes the stages of its degradation, during which the device is overtaken by something called “the presence.” Heady stuff!
Not only is Rose Tinted Vision Implant Odeka’s debut full-length, but it will double as the debut full-length album that the UK label Gobstopper has ever released! As in: yes, you read that right; this baby’s gonna be the VERY FIRST LP Gobstopper’s gob-droppin’ on the world. It follows Odeko’s previous releases for the label, the A History with Samus EP and last year’s “Digital Botanics/Construct Conduct” 12-inch.
