about
A song that mixes indie pop and dream pop with hints of dance and Daft Punk-style electronic music, “Something (you don't need)” develops as a two-voice conversation where my voice intertwines with Nobody's, sometimes playing a game of answers, sometimes harmonizing, sometimes overlapping and covering each other, “forcing” the listener to decide who to “follow”: “The importance of words”. “Something (you don't need)” is another song that focuses on the consumer society and how it influences us, in this case with regard to the spasmodic need to always appear physically perfect, in a perpetual game where the underlying message is to instill in people the sick idea that they are never up to expectations, in order to instill insecurity in individuals. After all, there is no better consumer than an insecure person, who fills their insecurities by purchasing what society suggests can improve their status; without neglecting the fact that an insecure person will, in general, be more easily subjugated and controlled, at all levels.
Something when I see your sad smile catch me in a web of cold warm thoughts
I can’t bring your fear out of you You can’t get what I want or I should
Now we now are trapped in this amazing maze that people, you know, call life
(But I don’t know where you are)
Are you sure you want all this or not?
(And where am I?)
We’d better lose our way to home
(We’d better find our way to home)
Oh, now you’re feeling sad, you know? I feel the same
Oh, feed your pain then try to fight, not to escape
Take a look around of you, now look away from all that you think you knew
(I can’t see clear, I need new points of view)
It’s all a mistake, you won’t be late to kill beliefs and then yourself
Oh, all this thoughts and wills are fake like beautiness
Oh, is so sad when all you feel is ready-made
And now you maybe won’t believe
(I don’t believe in anything)
That all your fears are born with this
(There’s nothing that can stop my fears)
You just should understand that you should forget what you have learned
There’s nothing more to see in this outrageous thoughts that burn inside
(Now that I’m blind I can see)
Let’s put them out or maybe just let’s put on them some wood and gas
Oh, we will burn ourselves, our thoughts, our life within
Oh, we will burn the pain, the sadness now so clear
You know, you don’t need all of this
(You know, my needs is all I need)
That’s something more or less to see
(Or, maybe’s all that I don’t need)
This pointless stuff won’t free your life
Realize this and
So Realize this and
Realize this and then you will fly
SOLO is a project that ranges between genres: psychedelic music and grunge coexists with indie pop, art rock, shoegaze,
electronic music, marching bands, musique concrète.
The leitmotiv across the songs is experimentation (especially on sounds, thanks to a massive use of effects) and by intolerance towards the society in which we live today....more
Portland shoegaze that plays, as the best representatives of the genre do, with huge, hollow atmosphere against intimate observations. Bandcamp New & Notable Nov 23, 2016

This Austin group stitches together the synthesized sounds of the '80s & '90s with '00s indie & '70s AM gold, all under glitchy electronics. Bandcamp New & Notable Sep 26, 2018
