The Brvtalist is pleased to premiere the new music video for “Electric Lahar” by Max Dahlhaus. The Berlin based artist releases the excellent album Short Morrow, which is the perfect soundtrack for a dystopian world. The atmosphere shifts from experimental to rather clubby, and back to sentimental in a blink of an eye. Sometimes it might give you the feeling of being lost, while the next track gives you a feeling of being hunted. His latest album on Infinite Machine is not only a view on life at the moment through the artist’s eyes, but a shout-out to everyone who is listening to see that change is inevitable.
Max’s third album is a collection of thoughts on society and the way we navigate this digitalized world while being observed by technology every step of the way.
Regarding the creative process, the artist recorded many sounds on the empty streets of Berlin during quarantine in 2020. He says that even with very few people outside, all the surrounding energy of what humans are was still there.
His wanderings through the streets of his city took him to experience places that usually were filled with life and motion from a completely new perspective. "I had time to think about all the years that had passed and explore what I felt in exactly that moment. 'Short Morrow' represents my inner dialogue about different aspects of our digitally connected society and the life around it.", Max recalls and explains that "Electro magnetic fields are not visible, but they are recordable. For days I collected those sounds during the first lock down in the empty streets of the usually so quirky streets of Berlin."
The sound of the omnipresent electromagnetic waves in our life trails thought the whole album and gives it a dystopian undertone, which makes ‘Short Morrow’ an eyewitness record of the here and now, but also a tale of a possible near future.
All drone shots from the video are filmed by Philipp Stelzner in Iceland, Norway and New Zealand.
Out March 26th on Bandcamp. Pre-order here now!
