New York is a place where I used to feel like I needed to put my armour on every time I left my apartment. Mask up so no one saw my fear or weakness. Suit up so I didn’t look like a person who should be fucked with. Watching this new video for KONTRAVOID‘s first single off their upcoming record Detachment, “For What It Is,” reminds me of how I would have to protect my energy in the city that never sleeps. Kontravoid is painting my memories in dark gothic electronica, filling the landscape of my mind with pulsing beats, caustic static, and thrumming melodies. Detachment comes out March 1st via Artoffact Records — pre-order it here. Today we’re premiering the video for “For What It Is” — so hit play on it below!
