about

Originally released on Civic Duty Records (CDR045) civicdutyhandshake.bandcamp.com/album/rise-in-spirals

Angry robots will the world to conform to their own standards - but their digital desire is not strong enough to break us. Standing tall in the face of the machine - Sidekick Wave unleashes their first single from the upcoming album “Withered” (out August 6 on nostalgie de la boue).

“Rise In Spirals” is an industrial/psychedelic dream pop song about love in the post-modern age. Hallucinogenic guru-guided lovers pass through the cage’s gates and into the light of renewed awareness where colors merge and truth is found in the center of the fiercest storm. “RIS” is presented in both an edited version and in its original untouched demo form.

As a b-side we are given a glimpse into “Clean Streets/Dirty Hearts”. A drum machine, post-punk meditation on suburban decay. The version here is a stripped down alternate mix of the upcoming album track.
