The songwriter and
producer of electronica known as Asmo has released his latest
official EP album, “Consumed.” The EP album contains five
original Asmo tracks for an approximate total listening time of 12
minutes. It has been proudly published as an independent release
without the involvement of the corporate music industry on the ASMO
record label. Paradoxically forward-thinking and innovative while
also reminiscent of '80s and '90s electronic music, “Consumed”
showcases Asmo as one of the most intriguing electronica artists of
the year so far and promises that he has plenty more where that came
from.
Asmo cites as main
artistic influences Lorn, Flume, the Glitch Mob, Ridley Scott's Blade
Runner films, and the cyberpunk fictional setting in general. Asmo's
own sound takes elements from each of these and adds something fresh
and unique for a result unlike anything today's music fans have heard
before. With an emphasis on that inimitable Vangelis sound,
“Consumed” by Asmo has a little something for everybody.
“Blade Runner is
my biggest inspiration,” writes Asmo. “Since I saw it at an early
age, I was stunned by everything in this movie – and obviously the
music. When I turned 20, I started producing music, all sorts of
electronic music at first, but now I'm more in a cyberpunk mood.”
Asked to describe the
overall meaning of “Consumed,” Asmo waxes poetic:
“Out of the frame,
a distant noise under clouded skies. Aches glitching. Memories
melting their own time ... Shapes' and shadows' plight, flood and
distort her mind through the smeared system. Silently but
intentionally, losses erased themselves. Instable fragments, her eyes
were vibrating suddenly like rain.”
“Consumed” by
Asmo on the ASMO label is available from over 600 quality digital
music stores online worldwide now. Get in early, electronica fans.
