Entry 1289 - Street Cleaner - Annihilation


Style: synthwave, darksynth

Primary Emotions/Themes: The end of humanity is nigh, let's dance the night away 

Thoughts: The city lights are zooming by faster than I can process. There's someone chasing me and I don't know why. All I know is that if I stop driving I'm dead.

Annihilation is an urgent album. It has somewhere to be and not a lot of time to get there. The songs each instill a profound sense of dread in me if I don't get this mysterious goal completed, and I HAVE to complete it, or the consequences will be dire. 

In a lot of ways Annihilation is a cinematic title. There is a strong visual component to each of the songs. They feel like they are scenes in a movie or video game. They all have their own character, yet the intensity of the music remains constant. I love this and wish more music was this driving. I really should listen to this album more often than I do.
