Not content to fit into a box, Nouveau Arcade's first album Dead Hearts is an amalgam of genres, featuring everything from Synthwave and Cyberpunk, to modern Alternative Rock and Pop, Industrial and Goth, and even a dash of EDM and dubstep. Tracks such as "Run Boy, Run" featuring a heavy drum performance from renownedPendulumdrummer KJ Sawka, show that they are not afraid to dive into heavier territory with industrial metal and succeed. "Hard Times" is a prime example of the beauty of synthpop with its shimmering synthesizers and chill atmosphere, while "Choose Your Fighter" takes on a more ominous feel, with a pulsing Midtempo soundscape.
With many tracks written during the pandemic Dead Hearts is an infinitely complex album dealing with escapism, adversity, loss, getting through rough times, and living in a constant state of fear. The album also includes their own take on the iconic Garbage single "Only Happy When It Rains." and a cover on Twenty One Pilot's "Jumpsuit" (feat. KJ Sawka). Other appearances from vocalistKeira Verleeand electronic artist Signal Voidround out a cast of performances across intricately designed soundscapes and pristine production.
Releasing with the track today is "ihumanz," an Alternative, Goth Rock, and Industrial fused single that incorporates an ethereal and somber atmosphere as it asks the question: "Where do I go from here?" Using synthesizers, steady rhythms Nouveau Arcade have managed to create a somber single focusing on mental health.
"The song in a sense is about giving up because all we do sometimes is compare ourselves to other people, and we're initially designed to be unique, and we need to honor our uniqueness," explains Nouveau Arcade. "We're still just humans, and that's ok. We get caught up in the distractions of social media and the internet instead of reflecting on ourselves, and we don't even know who we are. there's a lot of messed up stuff going on around us, but in the end, if we can accept ourselves as individuals, we allow our light to shine."
Releases from Dead Hearts have received support across multiple platforms, with "Choose Your Fighter" and "Stronger Now" receiving placements on Yandex's Dancefloor and "Choose Your Fighter" also featured on the Behind The Gamepad playlist. "Die On Me," "Hard Times," and "Only Happy When It Rains" earned placements on Yandex's Alternative lists. Their cover of "Only Happy When It Rains" also scored a placement on the Persistent Bad Weather playlist.
Nouveau Arcade are prepared to make their mark on the world combining elements of the nostalgic past and the electric future, with a wide array of eclectic influences in between. Nouveau Arcade doesn’t just think outside the box, they smash it creating a whole new shape from which they create their own unique vision.
