Athens-based synth duo Paradox Obscur has teamed up once again with filmmaker Pavel Vishnevsky to deliver a striking new visual for "Like A Freak", a standout track from their latest album IKONA. The video, featuring a magnetic performance by Nicola Di Pierro, is a bold cinematic statement that champions freedom, individuality, and the primal joy of movement—because, as the band insists, everyone has the right to dance.
Opening side two of IKONA, "Like A Freak" erupts with feral energy, channelling the rebellious pulse of the Hexagon house music label. Driven by the Behringer Crave synthesiser, the track snarls with analogue grit—basslines growl, synths spit, and rhythms surge with ecstatic abandon. It’s a sonic landscape that’s as visceral as it is infectious, designed to awaken the wild self that lives beneath the surface.
Lyrically, "Like A Freak" dives into the tension between the composed persona we show the world and the untamed spirit that thrives in secret. It’s a track for the twilight hours, when judgment fades and inhibition dissolves. As the lyrics proclaim: Does it make you click? / Now it's time to go deep. / Way deep. Like a freak. / Taste my analogue kick!
Released in September, IKONA marks the culmination of a three-year creative journey following the duo’s acclaimed Morphogenesis album. With IKONA, Paradox Obscur transcends genre boundaries, crafting a deeply personal and stylistically fluid form of electronic expression. The album pulses with authenticity, innovation, and a fearless embrace of the unknown.
The "Like A Freak" video is now live, offering a vivid entry point into Paradox Obscur’s electrifying world. IKONA is available on all major platforms—an essential listen for fans of analogue synth, darkwave, and avant-garde electronic music. Link
