Musical duo, Funktionslust, released their 5 track EP, Window, yesterday. I honestly have no way of describing the eclectic group as they touch on a ton of different unique sounds throughout. Waves of future-esque sounds mesh with vocals to form "technoid rhythms to glacial coldwave-esque atmospheres, they bring these styles into a hyper-modern sound world that is distinctly their own". The London formed duo comprised of Sage Redman and Joe Gillick, who come from backgrounds of idiosyncratic pop and grunge, combined their talents and set their focus on Window.
'Window' is about a disconnection from oneself inside, (inside as in indoors, and inside as in one's self) and from others outside. It explores the dichotomy and beauty of disconnection vs. connection with partners and friends and the parallels between what one thinks of themselves and what one perceives others to think. Every aspect of each song is created with one synthesizer, acting as a temple for all their ideas. Each idea, each strand of inspiration, bounces off the walls of this 'temple', and emerges as one nuanced, unmediated and tangible sonic construction.
