We're back UNEX7" with Alan Harman's “Friendly Fire”, an excellent minimal synth jam from Montreal, bringing light to the city with one of the more prolific new minds.

Dive into the underground side of the 80’s on a cosmic trip with almost psychedelic arps, crispy drums and deep meaningful vocals.

Timothy J. Fairplay’s interpretation is just as amazing. The experienced producer keeps the quality while driving a more club and kick driven interpretation of "Friendly Fire".

Exclusive and extremely limited 7" Lathe cut.

Must Have.

We are honored to introduce 'SHH' with his debut single, 'Apagar/Engole,' marking the inauguration of our new project, 'UNEX7.' Hailing from São Paulo and now rooted in Bahia, SSH's journey starkly contrasts Brazil's traditional immigration narratives, mirroring his music's unconventional path. His compositions beckon listeners to embark on a profound journey, challenging them to delve into realms of emotion and authenticity amidst a world often lacking depth.

Crafting a synthesis of emotions, trapped in the creator's throat, 'Apagar' (To Delete) and 'Engole' (to Swallow) explore themes of loneliness and companionship, darkness and light, the nuances of love and hate, blurring the lines between the two.

Rather than a mere release, we prefer to consider this offering as a timeless presence, destined to linger indefinitely.

Welcome SSH to UNEX7 at Unrealistic Expectations.

Long awaited artist under the “Unrealistic Expectations” label, AIRLQD comes with a futuristic and melancholic musical odyssey into an analogue maze of distorted futuristic synth lines, haunting strings and vocal echoes. The “Off Leash" EP, a 5-track album, invites you to wander through the circuitry of fragmented consciousness.

“Off Leash", the eponymous track of the album, sets the tone for the whole album with dystopian psychedelic synthesizers and more aggressive tones followed by the depth of the strings present in the whole album. It’s a close-to-perfect combination with the industrial electro-driven beats. Punk & High Tech, it's AIR LQD in its most dangerous form.

“Our Lengthened Shadows” goes deeper into the heart of the album’s bleak and dystopian melancholic theme, exploring the emotional and psychological aspects of fear. This track, in particular, serves as a sonic exploration of desolation.

"Off Leash" EP is an album that truly challenges the listener's preconceptions about industrial music. Demonstrating the depth and sophistication that can exist within this genre. It’s an enigmatic masterpiece that ventures into the realms of darkwave, minimal synth and post-punk. Brought to life under the banner of the "Unrealistic Expectations" label.
