On their new album Fractured Reality // Human Code, Riverlabs from Santiago de Chile invite their audience to a two-fold journey through our post-modern reality. A dozen tracks explore the transition from a fracture to a pulse, and from isolation to epiphany. Thrilling tales made from flashing lights and screaming steel throw the listeners into the cold and crowded world of these days. From here on, an exploration is undertaken during which warming lights and soothing souls are being revealed. Riverlabs describe a complex and encouraging process of healing despite all surrounding toxicity.

Post Punk / Noise Rock

For half an hour, Fun Total lead through heavy emptiness and angsty noise. Melancholia and desolation clash with the urgent desire for liberation. Da Ist Gar Nichts (German: There Is Nothing At All) is a collection of sad, angry, and stirring tales from our current days. Caught between depression, anxiety, the rise of new nationalism and fascism, and lust for fun, Fun Total provide noise and empowerment. Da Ist Gar Nichts is a musical reflection of Friedrich Merz‘ cold Germany and the nauseous global weltschmerz it is located in. Enjoy this wild ride through darkness, escapism, the void, and resilience.
