: Release Notes: \/ , \/ ,
' '
,: Exploded View, the international music project of Annika :,
: Henderson, Hugo Quezada, and Martin Thulin has returned and :
:' taken flight with their second full length, Obey. The album was ':
,: recorded at HugoÆs and MartinÆs studios in Mexico City with :,
: Annika visiting from Berlin. Leaving behind their raw, live :
:' recording process, and embracing overdubs and ':
,: multi-instrumentalism, the band has crafted their most ambitious :,
: work to date. The four-piece that recorded the bandÆs :
:' self-titled debut album and Summer Came Early EP became three ':
,: to create a more concise collection of songs. Their motivation :,
: for creating together remains purely passionate and the :
:' improvisational spark the band is known for has morphed into ':
,: the emotional flames of being close friends with a deep desire :,
: to make music with each other. :
:' ':
,: This passion serves as the main conceptual thread throughout the :,
: album and the result is an almost hypnotic dream sequence that :
:' lulls the listener into a lucid state. Once in this state you ':
,: become free to experience all of the classic dream motifs that :,
: the band has in store: intrigue, danger, ecstasy, visions that :
:' are hard to place but feel primordial, and a constant sense of ':
,: movement. From the aptly titled opener ôLullabyö the record :,
: weaves you through 10 apocalyptic yet soothing songs. By the :
:' time you reach the song ôObey,ö you are firmly in the bandÆs ':
,: palm. And the titular track delivers, bringing you on a hypnotic :,
: voyage with a shuffle 3/4 rhythm, where singer Annika :
:' HendersonÆs voice is caught in a rotating, inescapable rabbit ':
,: hole tale, accompanied by the high-pitched modular bleeping :,
: sounds of the Moog and eerie landscape of the Solina. :
:' ':
,: When asked about the title of the record, singer Annika said :,
: ôthis is in reference to so many things. We live in a society :
:' where we must obey or risk punishment. This can be social ':
,: punishment, legal punishment, emotional punishment - if you dare :,
: to step outside, you will reap the reward. We live in a time :
:' when we are self-certifying a lot. Whether itÆs how we present ':
,: ourselves on social media or our diet or our job - we obey the :,
: social norms. Our fears are used against us by advertisers. Our :
:' fears of growing old or being excluded - we must conform or pay ':
,: the high price - buy this and you will be accepted. We must :,
: obey.ö She adds musingly at the end ôItÆs also funny because in :
:' the band we often feel like we are all compromising, so we must ':
,: all obey each otherÆs wishes to some extent too.ö The meta :,
: nature of this sentiment, wanting to break free and also :
:' recognizing necessary emotional compromises, is just one of ':
,: many juxtapositions in this record. The band recognizes that :,
: some of the freedoms they advocate for are only attainable in :
:' sleep and have thus created this dream state record to help ':
,: release us all. :,
: :
:' Striking the balance between precise and wild, between ':
,: unshackled and grounded, grooving and unhinged, has always been :,
: Exploded ViewÆs specialty. The have a special knack for making :
:' the esoteric feel accessible and crafting pop music out of ':
,: seemingly raw consciousness. This unique ability to make :,
: beautiful music that feels written beyond the veil is at the :
:' heart of what makes the band so captivating and powerful, and ':
,: itÆs on full display all over Obey. :,
