Electro goth/industrial rocker Curse Mackey has been actively remixing and touring since his 2022 album, and now he kicks off a new chapter with the single "Vertigo Ego," a precursor to his upcoming Imaginary Enemies album set for release on July 25. The track, produced in collaboration with Chase Dobson, dives into the dark themes of narcissism, blending modular synths with an exploration of self-destructive impulses. Released on May 23, "Vertigo Ego" is available on platforms like Bandcamp and Spotify.
What implications do you think the themes of narcissism and self-destruction in his music have on listeners, especially in today’s socially media-driven environment?
