Odyssey Moth, the dark electro/gothic project of creator Robert Andrew Bowman from Detroit (USA), has released a new EP, Shattered. Shattered is a double single release that includes songs "Angry Girl" and the song "Broken And Burned". The tracks are from the forthcoming album due out later in 2024.
"Angry Girl" is a song about the frustrations and the cynical acceptance of a relationship falling apart. The driving pulse of the beat and the whining of the synths reflect the emotions that coincide with the frustration and gravitas of the unfolding negative situation.
"Broken And Burned" is a song about the pain felt from being pushed out and burned from a relationship and being blocked and not allowed to be a part of the birth of a child, and divorce during pregnancy. The relationship burns down to ashes while a child like a Phoenix is born from it.
Shattered features dark synths, driving beats, and cutting vocals. It also features the co-production, sound design, and mastering of Per-Anders Kurenbach in Bochum Germany. Link
