German producer Bad Stream has released a new music video for the single Already Dark via ANTIME Records. The project is the brainchild of Martin Steer who blends the sounds of Radiohead and Nine Inch Nails to make something entirely new. The new single is a downtempo and lo-fi style work and the result of two years of studio sessions taking influence from the likes of Health, Alessandro Cortini and Daniel Avery as well as the experimental and techno scenes of Berlin. Produced by Fabian Tschöpl, the video reflects the dissonant outlook of the music with glitching electronic inspired visualisations.
Commenting on the Bad Steam project, Martin Steer has said, “I look at my phone even when I play guitar and that isn’t even entirely voluntary. The 2010s really changed my perception of how digital technologies and social media affect me as a musician. Through Bad Stream I want to make sense of this particular kind of anxiety, and to use sensory overstimulation as a way to develop an independent and progressive musical language.”
