Red Mirror 04:27
I’m gonna burn my bridges I’m gonna burn them to the ground I’m gonna drown all of my friends I’m gonna watch all my friends go down I’m the destroyer I am your blue God I walk through ashes, I am fertility I breathe in concrete I exhale gasoline I am, the life of the party Oh no! Now the party crashed! On the roof of an Airbnb It’s just my dope, the twilight and me But, I can see everything I can feel everything! Under neon emptiness And all the unkept promises There still the love for the Bolsheviks I’m going back to the party It’s Dark thirty And I’m still on the move I’m on ground level And the grey has gone blue I’ve caught the hue Inner city blues Bouncing off the asphalt The dope, the twilight and you I’m gonna light my bridges I’m gonna watch them burn to the ground I’ll protect all of my friends And all my friends will protect you. I breathe in diesel I exhale neon I am electricity And I go through everything I’m the destroyer I am your blue god I am fertility I give life to everything

about

With the White Flag Single, which prepares the release of their fourth album, Mechanimal are closing the cycle of a revealing journey that began with the industrial dystopian landscapes of their first homonymous album back in 2012, entered a post-punk electro track with Secret Science in 2014 and boldly delivered to Delta Pi Delta’s flawed crack in 2016.

The two new songs of White Flag Single do not raise the white flag that states an unconditional surrender but the one that sets the end of all personal, social, secular warfare of the past. In Easy Dead, the world's innocent history is written from the outset - as a warning for the future, and in Red Mirror the only force for survival is revealed: the one that takes the form of a redemptive disaster with the sole purpose of starting everything from scratch.

The theatrical vocals - a trademark of Mechanimal's collaboration with Freddie Faulkenberry - meet guitar distortion (by Jimmy Polioudis on Easy Dead and George Theofanidis on Red Mirror), just at the point where shoegazing breaks the precious repetitive materials of drone n 'roll, which Mechanimal has defined with each one of their little or long stories, over a decade that, if they did not exist, would look for them as its most sophisticated soundtrack.

The artwork of the single is based on an idea by Angelica Vrettou. The video of Easy Dead is directed by Christos Sarris. The video of Red Mirror is directed by John Karabelas.

Out on white 7” vinyl and digital single via Inner Ear.
