Georgia natives CDSM (Celebrity Death Slot Machine) share a glimpse of their genre-bending debut full length LP, Convertible Hearse with electrifying number “Shockable Rhythm.”
Showcasing a signature blend of edgy synths and brooding vocals rooted in a dark-wave musicality, the track brims with an intensity as the lyrics recount a near-fatal car accident. Encapsulating a fighting spirit and the defiance to survive, the track soars with a powerful chorus that juxtaposes a touch of vulnerability.
Speaking of the track, they say "Macabre new wave with a touch of industrial track, “Shockable Rhythm”, closes CDSM’s debut full-length album, Convertible Hearse. Kickstarted by a jolt of acapella vocoder rendering the words, “I am still alive”, the song depicts an accident involving a 16-wheeler, as well as memories from the near-death experience that followed."
Led by minimal yet impact synth arrangements, electro-tinged disco pulses and melodic tones, the ear worm offering has us reaching for the replay button as sways between eerie and edgy. Coming to life as the perfect precursor to the edgy themes unfurling in the album, CDSM challenges to persevere and push forward as it celebrates the pulse of life.
Having earned a reputation as a genre-bending act with their post-punk sensibilities, CDSM are all set to craft bold yet thoughtful sonic tales.
