Midnight wave podcast4/30/2023 Welcome to Revisionist History, my podcast about things forgotten or misunderstood. I still have it on vinyl, it goes like this. I listened to it right away and this episode is about one song on that album it's called The Deportees Club. Anyway, I was 20 in 1984, so I remember Goodbye Cruel World. If you make a list of your favorite songs, you'll see what I mean. There's a theory in psychology, the music you listen to at ages 19 and 20 is the music that imprints itself most deeply on your consciousness. I bought it the week it came out because I bought every Elvis Costello album back then, the week it came out. Malcolm Gladwell: In 1984, Elvis Costello released his 9th album, Goodbye Cruel World. Hallelujah with Malcolm GladwellĮpisode 7| Season 1| Revisionist History Length: 36 min | Released: July 27, 2016 Tracks such as ‘ God’s Greed’ and ‘ Selling My Soul’ astonish with their raw, emotive, industrial grit lavish walls of sound coloured with heavily distorted synths, compelling, dramatic post-rock crescendos along with Trevor’s obscure 90’s alternative-esque vocals immediately bringing to mind the work of bands such as Nine Inch Nails and Marilyn Manson – but with Trevor’s signature personality radiantly shining through, with his adoration and immersion in synthwave and post-punk glowing vividly throughout the album.Transcripts for the entire Season 1 and Season 2 podcasts of Revisionist History are available here. The dark, dazzling nature of the aptly named ‘ Cybersex’ intertwines with the thematic nature of the latter, taking the modern elements of R&B ballad-esque style and sculpting it into an electrifyingly sensual hypnosis that could easily draw listeners into the smoky obscurity of a late-night, red-lit, neon-drenched dancefloor.ĭeep Wave Data Dark Web Daemons by Trevor Something Deep Wave Data Dark Web Daemons by Trevor Something The opening track ‘ Devil In Disguise’ glitters with introspection, a honeyed R&B-esque love ballad with the steady heartbeat and rich atmosphere gleaming with the idyllic textural electronics and Trevor’s distant, echoic vocals reminiscent of tranquil Wave. When talking about Trevor’s prismatic enthusiasm toward experimenting with genre, the album serves as a perfect example of the artist’s bold progression – with each track embracing bewitching elements from all genres across the board, even those we previously perhaps wouldn’t have expected. Right off the bat, in ‘Deep Wave Data Dark Web Demons’ the approach Trevor takes with each of his tracks is a fascinating evolution for the artist that immediately stands out amongst his previous releases. In his latest release and 13th LP ‘ Deep Wave Data Dark Web Daemons’, this evidently stands true – however the record allows us a further dive into the forever developing world of Trevor Something, an offering truly invigorating and refreshing that can’t help but leave us hypnotised by the producer’s truly distinct auditory personality. Unafraid to grasp the elements of genre that fascinate him most, Trevor Something splices synth-wave, post-punk, electronica and quite frankly, a kaleidoscopic swirl of many other genres into his unique auditory personality and while the artist is ever evolving, it’s easy to distinguish his work almost immediately. Perhaps this cryptic charisma is but one of the elements that has Trevor Something stand out as one of the most unique artists within electronic music since his debut in 2013. This being said, the fact that Trevor Something is but the alias of an anonymous producer leaves us questioning his true identity – while still retaining awareness that his identity is deeply ingrained within his creations. The world Trevor Something has created cradles powerfully vivid imagery and cryptic social commentary within every release, radiant with the artist’s electrifying cyberpunk aesthetic – and the overall sense that we are delving into a bizarre, theatrical and futuristic universe, ripe with the allure of mystery. Shrouded in an enigmatic realm the bleeding neon works of Trevor Something creep and crawl within the walls of our tender veins, seeping through our arteries and burying themselves within the pores of our skin – the striking obscurity of the producer’s art sculpting his own, distinct realm.
