"Raven Raven" is a melting pot of creeping electronics from experimental three-piece Exploded View
Exploded View warm up for their second album with the sumptuously dark "Raven Raven" - a sonic statement of modern day surveillance.
"Raven Raven" is the first single to be taken from their upcoming second album entitled Obey and is a sonic exploration of paranoia; where danger lies beneath every crunching guitar riff and lead singer Annika Henderson howls with a spine-tingling creepiness that will make the hairs on your arms stand on end.
As the track unravels, the drums whirl in hynotic motion and the tingling sense of mystery only heightens. It's a swamp-like darkness that completely encompasses the listener and draws them into Exploded View's surreal, twisted world that ultimately warns of external control and the kind of 1984-style dystopian nightmare we're living in.
Explaining the warning that lies behind the track, the band say “Ever felt like someone is watching your every move? Your every twitch, your every sneeze? Stare back into the face of observation. Never give in to external control. You can break this.”
