I like it when musical genres go slightly rogue. From their base in the alternative internet culture of the US, experimental audiovisual artist personalheartbreaker serves up a suitably intriguing slice of cyber-gothic weirdness with 'Sorry Eyed'.
Ethereal vocals float through heavy, reverb-soaked guitars, while electro bleeps and beats provide a distinctly retro-futuristic pulse. Inspired by the nu-gaze revival but considerably colder and more otherworldly, the track shifts between dreamlike intimacy and sonic heaviness.
The highly stylised presentation is very much part of the package, creating an unsettling visual world to match the song’s tale of desire, dependence and self-destruction. 'Sorry Eyed' is an interesting insight into the strange realm of personalheartbreaker.
