From Liz:
“This song was written during the first quarter of the quarantine. Every day I thought about death- death caused by the virus, death caused by white supremacy, racism, violence, death by transphobia, homophobia, inequality, and all of it put me in a dark place where I was desperate for some sort of hope. Mike’s dad had just passed away during all of this and it’s devastating to think about all the people losing loved ones who aren’t able to be there during those final moments due to covid-19. When I was writing this, I was trying to make sense of it all, but I still can’t. I used to take solace in the love I had for my city but all of a sudden, I didn’t feel safe because of people’s disregard for spreading this virus.So, to cope I reflected a lot on the people I love and tried to strengthen those connections....it's all I could manage to do to deal with so much hate but honestly at the end of the day that isn’t enough” .

The song is taken from their forthcoming new album 'Euphoria', which will be out on February 21 through Throatruiner Records. Pre-order your copy here.
Video: Orson Welles. “We’ve made a simple production, but it’s taken from the old archived footage of The Other Side Of The Wind from Orson Welles, the director’s Cursed, final film he never released. Actually, you can find a documentary on the film made by Netflix in 2018 produced by Peter Bogdanovich. We thought that the intensity on this video is a good representation of Enter Life’s ambiance–a kind of sexual energy without any images of sex. Everything happens in the eyes.”

Berlin ebm, Falco and Arnold clearly come to the fore as references. WIE EIN GOTT is a Goth Dance Banger. But of course the proven elements remain. XTR HUMAN still stands for dystopic ethereal sounds with lofty synth harmonies, powerful bass lines and piercing vocals.
The video was directed by Clay Adamczyk. Watch below.

Sydney artist Hotel (aka Andrew Tudehope) has unveiled the video for his debut single "Loose Change" ft. Obi ill Terrors.
The song is out today (December 4th) through Yeah Nah Yeah Records. Buy it copy here.
'Loose Change 'is a track about coming to the realisation, that the eternal search for more is only holding one back from enjoying what is in front of them. The song is my anger towards the fact that I was intoxicated for so long by the aromas of riches placed in front of me by media, and society. Money has never made the person. Money is just
another thing we are tricked into thinking we need. I wanted to enjoy the moment more and stop worrying about the future and subsequently missing the present'
