Realities

What is reality? This fundamental question has haunted philosophers, scientists, and artists throughout the centuries. With the arrival of virtual reality, this thought experiment has only become even more urgent and maybe even essential for humankind's survival. Who better to give a devious artistic answer to this conundrum than Belgian dark electro duo Mildreda with their monumental double album "Realities"? Mastermind Jan Dewulf is exceptionally qualified for this task among his peers as the Belgian musician holds a degree in philosophy. While the previous album "Blue-Devilled" explored hell as defined by French existentialist Jean-Paul Sartre, the amused voice of Albert Camus whispers through the tracks of "Realities". In tune with their deeply human subject, Mildreda deliver their most emotional album to date. The band introduces colours and emotions rarely associated with a genre defined by cold, hard electronics. The Belgians are pushing their sound markedly beyond the traditional boundaries of dark electro. Although, Canadian EBM influences remain audible as well as additional Belgium sonic flavour, Mildreda again break into new musical dimensions. The Belgians also gave extra space to include prominent guest vocals from a compatriot, SUICIDE COMMANDO's Johan Van Roy, and Constantin "Breñal" Warter of German cult act CALVA y NADA fame. With "Realities", Mildreda do not only deliver their most ambitious and innovative album both lyrically and musically yet, but also their most accessible record so far. Check it out!
