The songwriter and
producer of electronica music known as Attila Pax has released his
official debut album, “Future Now (and No Turning Back).” The
album contains 11 original Attila Pax tracks for an approximate total
listening time of a full hour. It has been proudly published as an
independent release without the involvement of the corporate music
industry. Both futuristic and retro simultaneously, “Future Now
(and No Turning Back)” showcases Attila Pax as one of the most
intriguing electronica music artists of the year so far and promises
that he has plenty more where that came from.
Japan's Attila Pax cites
as main artistic influences Chemical Brothers, Underworld, the
Prodigy, Leftfield, Marilyn Manson, and Massive Attack. Attila Pax'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 catchy hooks, unique turns of melody and
evocative, powerful beats, “Future Now (and No Turning Back)” by
Attila Pax has a little something for everybody.
Asked to describe the
overall meaning of “Future Now (and No Turning Back),” Attila Pax
writes, “The main theme of the album is one of energy, a good or
bad energy. It's the fear of the future and of the cycles ending.”
This theme isn't an overt
one. Rather, it is felt throughout the record in an eerie, ominous
tone which fills the listener throughout.
“Maybe you can
hear it in some of the lyrics,” writes Attila Pax, “but most of
the album is instrumental.
It is an invitation to
deep dive into a dark and bright electronic album, with joy and
sadness, peace and chaos.”
Ultimately, each music fan
will walk away from “Future Now...” with her own interpretation.
“Everyone will
find a different message, or a different meaning, I reckon,” Pax
says.
Music has been the main
way for Attila Pax to express himself since the young age of 11 when
he began at bass guitar. That led to piano. Born 1991, he has spent
the last 15 years “making music in my room, the music I couldn't
listen to anywhere, the music I wanted to hear” by singing and with
his guitars and piano. He performed in an electronic music duo
2008-2013 in Paris before finally going solo.
He describes his sound as
“100% homemade electronic music with some rock influences,
sometimes violent, tribal, energetic. Almost no samples except few
voices. I work on a computer with a keyboard, singing into the
computer microphone since I broke my mic a while ago. Sounds a bit
dirty and I like it that way.”
He notes that his style is
influenced by 1990s Britain, but that he's “trying hard to give
people something original – at least something they haven't heard
1000 times in clubs.”
“Attila Pax is a
newborn baby, naked and alone,” writes Attila Pax. “Nothing much
to say. Listen to it and figure it out.”
“Future Now (and
No Turning Back)” by Attila Pax is available from quality digital
music stores online worldwide now. Get in early, electronica music
fans.
