Der DIY Künstler und Songwriter Alexei Shishkin hat den Slacker und Lo-Fi Rock der 90er aufgesaugt und erschafft so grandiose und extrem kurzweilige Slacker Hymnen, wie den neuesten Song ‚Disco Elysium‘.

“This song was inspired by the game Disco Elysium, which is maybe the greatest video game ever made. You’re a degenerate, amnesiac detective coming off a crazy bender, and you’re trying to solve a murder that happened in a small post-revolution town. The game covers everything from psychology to politics to lost love to life, death, and introspection. It’s honestly one of the most well-written, exciting things I’ve ever experienced. I play through it every two or three years, and I just so happened to be playing it when we recorded this song, so I wrote about it. Shout-out to Robert Kurvitz who wrote most of that game. (Oh, and PS: in that game, there are 4 distinct sounds that play representing Intellect, Psyche, Physique, and Motor Skills – as an homage, we run through those samples as part of the first 4 bars of this song).” – Alexei Shishkin
