Huminoida - The Grey Area (oversized) (CD)

CD with large 20x20cm booklet

Melancholic electropop, angsty indie synth, sorrowful beauty, frustration, anger.. Huminoida's second full-length album offers nine tracks of deep human emotions from the darker end of the scale.

Thoughts on the new album:

"This wasn't an easy album for me to make. The last three years haven't been exactly euphoric in my life or in the world in general, and the anxiety of the times has affected the lyrics and overall mood of the tracks. There's no science fiction or surrealism this time, the themes on this album are very much of this world, this reality. That is one of the reasons why I decided to call it "The Grey Area".

I see myself more of a singer-songwriter than an electronic music maker (to call myself a musician seems far-fetched since I'm not a virtuoso), and more than ever I concentrated on making carefully crafted songs with well thought-out lyrics. Despite the difficult topics on some of the songs I definitely wanted to avoid the "Fuck you fucking cunts" -type of argumentation, because there's enough moronic shouting on the Internet already.

"The Grey Area" is an appropriate name also because musically it's kind of an oddball among the electronic releases. Trends or genre boundaries have nothing to do with the musical output, and to file it simply under "synthpop" may be a bit misleading. There are the melancholic synthpop tunes (Just by Wishing, Beneath the Empty Skies, Ghosts on Photos), but also the new wave-ish, harsher tracks (Contradictator, Trying Times) as well as the atmospheric "Double Life" and the heavy, lyric-driven songs (Thoughts Like Insects, Every Time Humankind). So, it is diverse, but I think strong collection of songs.

I hope that you have time to check out what I've been up to."
