Ahead of the release of his debut album, II, releasing January 10, 2025, darkwave producer Torba has shared that project’s latest single, “LIES.”
Torba’s music’s urgency comes through on the new single “LIES,” a propulsive track built on sour synths and frenetic production. The song morphs into a distorted blast of guitar in its second half.
“LIES” video is the last of a trilogy directed by Jacopo Dall’Agnol, who explains: “Using artificial intelligence, we have animated disturbing culinary visions. Similar to scenes from the iconic ‘Goosebumps’ series, our dishes come to life, transform into human-like figures, and nervously sing words they are not conscious of. The selection of dishes and the visual style are influenced by retro cookbooks and television commercials from the ’80s and ’90s, enhancing the viewer’s immersion into Torba’s unsettling environments.”
The new single comes after the previously released “WIRE,” a dark inversion of a dance tune, in its blown-out kick, wailing feedback and crushed percussion. and “PUNTO,” a track which balances live performance, brutish drum programming, and surprising lyrics.
The Italy-based producer (aka Luigi Pianezzola) and The Soft Moon touring musician makes stark electronic tracks that pull from punk, industrial and club music while retaining a modern grit of his own and creating a distinct and destructive sound.
