Boiler is the latest single from German electronic musician Monoboi, who combines haunting melodies with self-made music videos in service of cross-media experiences that experiment with dark atmospherics and hidden meaning.
Arriving in tandem with the announcement of Monoboi’s forthcoming full length album, Year Of The Wolf, Boiler is the album’s first single. Both album and single deal with themes of the fear of loneliness within a composition that combines melancholy and hope.
The production brings together a glitchy, frenetic feeling with slow moving, peaceful melodies. Snatched vocal samples and layered percussion capture the restless nature of our minds against slow, thoughtful chord progressions that feel like the calm, constant change of nature. It’s a beautiful, emotive experience, with the video pairing the emotional feeling of serenity captured within the music.
