Halicon - Million O'Clock by halicon published on 2022-02-04T16:26:14Z new album: Loner Veils! also available as part of the new 5-cassette box set. checkout halicon.bandcamp.com for more info // This track was originally a demo from 2011, soon after Reznor & Ross made the slide from from the "future dystopia" of Year Zero to the "ongoing dystopia" of The Social Network, and I think the influence that soundtrack had on me at the time shows pretty clearly. I also think it's a good anchor point for the album, straddling the line between droning or hypnotic rhythms and jarring bouts of crushing distortion. I had a lot of fun refreshing this mix in the studio last year; distorting the piano through an old Moog synth filter and a wash of Afterneath Reverb before being chewed up by this old Rand-O-Matic pedal I recently came across. With the video, I tried to capture that push/pull as the ominous undertones fight for balance against the more hopeful, if warped, piano melodies. Genre Electronic
