The brooding Newcastle synthwave artist is at it again.

One of the best parts about isolation is finally having the chance to check in with new music from artists that are on the periphery of your regular triple j scene. One such artist is Foemen, who has just released his finest track to date, ‘Bones’, along with an accompanying video that encapsulates the dystopian sentiments of our current lives in lockdown right now.

Combining dark keys with his heavily vocoded vocals, the track is equally bit as euphoric as his earlier work we heard on Detritus City, yet he’s condensed an album’s worth of hooks into one track. Building nicely to a noisy uptempo outro, it’s hard not to go straight back and play it again (and again) as soon as the track finishes.

The visuals artfully capture the song’s futuristic melancholia incorporating imagery that is reminiscent of the recent HBO series Chernobyl, as we follow a team of face-masked workers going about their business – whatever that business may be…

“‘Bones’ is ironically about an apocalyptic world not too far from reality. Nods towards The Terminator, Blade Runner, and Tron,” he says of the track. “The lyrics can be left up to interpretation, although the song creates a cold, dark landscape and along with video shows clips of a human perhaps being created or manufactured (purpose-built) for the current world in which it is set. ‘How did you know, I’m buried in bones’ hints a humorous attempt that each person created is becoming more and more alike.”
