On paper, the thought of fusing industrial, post-punk and dance with Balearic influences could seem a bit suspect. However, London-based band Two Tribes have managed to pull it off with there latest single ‘Videodrone’. The song follows their previously released track ‘Zone’. Drawing inspiration from not only an early 80s synth palette, 90s rave is also embedded in the production that is ethereal and quite blissful. Produced by Oli Bayston, ‘Videodrone’ is currently out now. Have a listen.

Touching on the song, Two Tribes mentioned:

“Videodrone’ deals with how the idea of a digital identity, over-stimulation from technology and the internet can perpetuate disillusion and desensitisation in the real world. For some of us, the amount of information available can be a difficult thing to process sometimes, we wanted to explore in this song that increasingly blurred line between mind and mechanism. The title takes inspiration from David Cronenberg’s 1983 film ‘Videodrome’, which carries similar themes about the cult of technology.”
