65daysofstatic Debuts Cyber-Inspired Single “Five Waves”

65daysofstatic is an English band from Sheffield set to release its new album, replicr, 2019 on September 27, 2019. The band released a new track, “Five Waves” which has a slow, tranquil and hypnotic introduction with a sound of wind chimes swaying gently. The song then fades adding in elements of buzzing, alternate sounds with a blending cascade and flow. The video is brilliant as the sound of the track is a mixture of beats and various sounds that uplift and mesmerize your mind. It serves as a lullaby of sorts.

The song feels like it plays with your senses as a humming vibration is set against a heavy beat that fights for an upbeat or positive theme. The visual in the video is red and black with six blocks of different, alternating symbols that resemble a recording session. 65daysofstatic includes instrumentalists Paul Wolinski, Joe Shrewsbury, Rob Jones and Simon Wright.

The song, “Five Waves” is described as tidal push and pull of clean, fundamental frequencies and sculpted white noise beats. One of the earliest tracks from replicr, 2019, it started life as a ramshackle piece of generative software that stacked sine waves on top of each other in interesting combinations and then battered them against rhythms in 5/8 built from glitches and white noise, like waves at high tide hitting the rocks of a stormy shore.

The new album, replicr is described in a statement as forty-two minutes of dread and a record that stares head-on into the abyssal futures of late capitalism and refuses to blink. A melancholic, tireless soundtrack of acceleration. A feeling of frayed-nerved, time-smudged, light-speed drifting through cities built upon cities. Neon seen through rain-riddled windowpanes. It wastes no time because there is no time left to waste.

Drummer Rob Jones explains: “This was supposed to be the future, but that future got cancelled. History is moving but it’s got nowhere to go. It’s piling up all around us. That’s what this record is about. This atemporality is an illusion, it’s the cultural logic of late capitalism, consuming everything faster and faster, each artefact a more diluted replica of the last. Even the idea that ‘pop will eat itself’ is eating itself. We need to find a way out.”

Kelly Tucker: Originally from Los Angeles, I grew up listening to all types of music. My first concert was Aerosmith with Skid Row, then moved on to concerts with Metallica, Lollapalooza, Guns N’ Roses, Soundgarden and more. One of my favorite shows of all time was when I was in college and someone took me to see the Allman Brothers play. I also scalped a ticket to see Pearl Jam and the amazing Eddie Vedder sing his heart out. My professional career started in 2000 at Nielsen Business Media where I was an assistant in a sales department and later got promoted to advertising account executive. When the recession hit in 2008 and the magazine was sold, I took a job at a call center and later got promoted to assistant to the CEO and COO of a global company. In 2017, I took a position at a pharmaceutical agency, and now currently responsible for coordinating meeting logistics for physicians and pharma reps throughout the United States. In my spare time, I work at Peace4Kids a non-profit in South Los Angeles and write screenplays in hopes to make a breakthrough.
