UTO - Infiné Music
âWhen all you want to do is be the fire part of fireâ⊠say it to yourself and then say it again. Repeat it like a mantra. Itâs what UTO did.
Anyone familiar with the UTOâs lauded 2022 debut âTouch The Lockâ, which Pitchfork praised for its âprismatic synth popâ, will be aware of the variegated nature of what they do. This album is just as colourful, with Neysaâs vocalwork sparking similarities to Kim Gordonâs off-kilter vocals, which they both ceremoniously jets through a post-electronica blender mixing stylized indie sleaze productions with 90s breakbeats.
While they might appear as a singular entity to others, UTO wrote large sections of this album apart, converging by the fireside to discuss the dayâs work before coming together to hone and finish the songs. 2023 was, by their own admission, a difficult year, and thatâs reflected in the Dantean themes expressed in songs such as the lead single âZombieâ, which arrived at the end of November as a taster for the new record; the latterâs dark heart is belied by the skittering beats, glitchy electronics and pummeling sequencers that elevate it from the void.
UTO are agents of chaos whoâve always lived on the periphery of reality, inhabiting an uncanny hinterland of the imagination where dream states coalesce with perceived real life. It probably shouldnât surprise us then that they have embraced AI where others fear to tread, by following the sonic algorithms to see where they might lead creatively, and by presenting themselves on the cover of âWhen all you want to do is be the fire part of fireâ as two generated simulations: âThis image is not of our faces, but it looks like us,â says Neysa. âItâs more us than us.â More fire than fire, one could add. From fire, early manâs discovery, to AI, humanityâs next great adventure â with all of the wonders and complexities of human relationships in between â âWhen all you want to do is be the fire part of fireâ really is about life, the universe and everything. Just remember, be the flame, not the moth.
