Eternal Overdrive by Aisle 9

Why can’t we as humans ever get enough? Our survival instinct, a useful dowry of evolution, now more than ever seems to be a fault in our makeup. We constantly consume, caught in “Eternal Overdrive”.

This release is a powerful emotive synthwave instrumental, inspired in part by apocalyptic 80s movies like Miracle Mile, The Quiet Earth and Bladerunner.

There's definitely a space theme going on here too, an escape from this planet at warp speed into the unknown vastness of the universe.

The cover comes from my preoccupation with pyramids. Once put up as symbols of spiritual power, eternal life and cosmic energy. I think they're a reminder of incredible human achievement at great cost. What price did we pay to create these elaborate tombs for the dead? Are we reaching that point as a civilisation where we will orchestrate our own downfall because of our "Eternal Overdrive"...
