Substance, the second album by producer Moisture, sets out to deliver an immersive tech-noir fantasy of emotional and physical deconstruction. Inspired in part by William S. Burroughs 1959 novel Naked Lunch, the conceptual narrative of the album follows a humanoid subject through an urban landscape and the exploration of its depravations. [Ì¢Û_å å_] Through rhythmic excursions and the exploration of repetition, the tracks of Substance are arranged to convey this self-destructive longing for depravity. Moisture is an alias of one Simon Eliasson. He lives in MalmÌÄå¦ and considers himself halfway between a DJ and a conceptual artist, documenting the end of history. "This album feels like the song In Dark Trees from Brian Eno's Another Green World LP. It's the album Eno could have made if he'd continued deeper into that forest." Ì¢Û_å â À_ Antony Ryan
