Download ‘The Beat Of Your Heart’ by The Hate Eighties for free!
The Hate Eighties have released 'The Beat Of Your Heart', a free track taken from their forthcoming album POW released 5th October 2015 via Walton Xi Huang Media..
Sounding like a post apocalyptic Muse crossed with a John Carpenter soundtrack, their futuristic art-pop is an experiment in story telling utilising multimedia. You can download the track to hear for yourself via the ABoF SoundCloud page.
Debut album POW takes place in an alternative past or a possible future and tells the story of how one company rebrands the ideals of an alt-capitalist group and sells it to the world. They are transmedia. They are post modern. They are Sebastian & Lucius, two Glaswegian artists influenced by the music of Chvrches, Aphex Twin, Nine Inch Nails, the humour of Chris Morris, and the onstage charisma of Timmy Cappello, the topless Saxophonist from The Lost Boys.
The combination is distilled agitprop electronica, wrapped up in songs disguised as hip hop, alternative rock and EDM.
They create physical artwork for each one of their songs and have been known to share them with the worthy. You may have already seen their advertisements plastered up around your town, or heard them on the radio in between the frequencies of popular stations. They exist in your peripheral vision, and they’ve decided it’s time for them to step out of the shadows and into the spotlight.
Lucius provides vocals, keyboards, programming, guitars, bass and saxophone. Sebastian provides vocals, keyboards, programming, guitars and bass. You provide the audience.
POW is released 5th October 2015 via Walton Xi Huang Media.
