2DCAT’s upcoming album, This Is Not For You, marks a significant evolution in their sound, melding analog synths reminiscent of the late ’70s and early ’80s with darker, more emotionally charged themes of loss and survival. Drawing inspiration from innovative authors and creators like Mark Z. Danielewski and David Lynch, the duo, comprising producer/multi-instrumentalist 2DCAT and vocalist/lyricist HAEZL, describes the album as a journey through despair towards enlightenment. With a release date set for July 18, pre-orders are available, and music videos for several tracks have already been launched.
Given the album’s focus on navigating trauma and disorientation, how do you think the fusion of synthpop with such raw emotional themes will resonate with listeners in today’s cultural landscape?
