EP / 2025 / SHI—001
Blood Tape
Five tracks, twenty minutes. The debut — where the project's grammar first takes shape: dark electronic, industrial textures, shoegaze atmospherics, and ambient tension. A short film somewhere beyond the planet.
/// Tracklist
Five tracks / twenty minutes
- 01
Intro
Cinematic growl — открытие. Длинные дрейфующие синты, медленно нарастающее напряжение перед тем как войдут барабаны.
- 02
Blood Tape
Заглавный. Berlin-style industrial текстуры, холодная элегантность. Лирика про распад, "climb the walls / climb so high".
- 03
Rocket Ship to Hell
Электронные пэды как вихри. Темнота нужна чтобы ритм казался острее, меланхолия держит центр тяжести.
- 04
Doomnight
Парящий вокал, металлические искры. Электризованный воздух, ощущение хождения по поврежденным проводам.
- 05
Storm Clouds Gather
Финал. Самый "земной" трек EP — предгрозовой, объёмный, бодрящий после погружения в потустороннее.

Climb so high.
Never try."

/// About this release
A short film beyond the planet.
Blood Tape is the debut release. Five tracks, twenty minutes — a short format, deliberately so. Press described it as "a fully formed vision, the kind of project that doesn't just play through speakers but unfolds around you" (Get Some Magazine), and as a release built like a laboratory experiment where instead of verse-chorus structure you get fragments that change according to their own rules (Indie Boulevard).
The sonic territory crosses industrial, shoegaze, and ambient — what one reviewer called music "as if someone took industrial, shoegaze and ambient, put it all in a blender and forgot to turn it off." There are echoes of Massive Attack in the cinematic darkness, Berlin-inspired industrial synths in the harder textures, and dark electronic atmosphere throughout.
Thematically the EP is about the fractured self — anxiety, internal voices, existential void, addictions as metaphors for emptiness. These are also the themes I've spent years studying as a philosopher: perception, identity, consciousness, the limits of human thought. The music is not a departure from that work — it is another way of asking the same questions.
