Long awaited artist under the “Unrealistic Expectations” label, AIRLQD comes with a futuristic and melancholic musical odyssey into an analogue maze of distorted futuristic synth lines, haunting strings and vocal echoes. The “Off Leash" EP, a 5-track album, invites you to wander through the circuitry of fragmented consciousness.
“Off Leash", the eponymous track of the album, sets the tone for the whole album with dystopian psychedelic synthesizers and more aggressive tones followed by the depth of the strings present in the whole album. It’s a close-to-perfect combination with the industrial electro-driven beats. Punk & High Tech, it's AIR LQD in its most dangerous form.
“Our Lengthened Shadows” goes deeper into the heart of the album’s bleak and dystopian melancholic theme, exploring the emotional and psychological aspects of fear. This track, in particular, serves as a sonic exploration of desolation.
"Off Leash" EP is an album that truly challenges the listener's preconceptions about industrial music. Demonstrating the depth and sophistication that can exist within this genre. It’s an enigmatic masterpiece that ventures into the realms of darkwave, minimal synth and post-punk. Brought to life under the banner of the "Unrealistic Expectations" label.
A much-needed DIY history of harsh experimental music from the '80s, in direct response to the luxe plastic excesses of the era. Bandcamp New & Notable Nov 29, 2017
