This October, -ii- (pronounced "Two Eyes") will release Apostles of the Flesh, a full-length album that expands on their blend of dark pop, post-rock, and industrial ambience. The French band has shifted to more ethereal and erotic themes, diving deeper into surrealism, mythology, and the modern disconnection from ancient cultures. The album features 12 new tracks, including collaborations and previously released singles, and is available for digital pre-order on Bandcamp.
What do you think drives the current fascination with themes of sensuality and mythology in contemporary music, and how does this reflect our cultural climate?
