Dark and romantic. Tearing at the seams of convention. Where logic meets emotion, there is always a struggle - this is the best description you can find for the second studio album by UNITARY, entitled "Misanthropy". Every track name represents a different word for misanthropy, and the flaws which all humans possess. Here is a towering achievement of sheer musical power and lyrical subtlety. Floating electropop with an edge.
"This album is more layered, and more straight forward, than previous efforts. I have tried to get more of a live feeling to it, especially with the vocals. I'm sure people will find many elements that are typical for UNITARY. But there is a whole range of new musical ideas. Lyrically though, I'm still the same old me. Nothing has changed there, haha!" says Johan Hansson, aka UNITARY, about his new release.
A auditory mixture somewhere between early COVENANT and the more modern influences of bands such as ASSEMBLAGE 23, FROZEN PLASMA and DIORAMA, we have here twelve masterpieces on one album which is a world away from today's uninspired electro hear-a-likes! Innovative electronic pop music with an edge.
