Daily electricity to load your batteries

25 January 2025

Artist: GHOST ON TV
Who: Project of Boston-based multi-instrumentalist
and songwriter Paul DePasquale

Track: DRAINED

“Drained” is the sound of the mental walls closing in, its four-minute
runtime acting like a countdown clock in a dystopian film where the
listener stars in a lead role.

DePasquale: “It’s about being exhausted from all the expectations we put on ourselves,
as well as the expectations easily felt by society. And it’s questionable how society gets placed with such a burden in the first place. It’s hard to not point the finger at the government, politics, corporations, and media that demand so much of our energy to keep up with the status quo.

It’s the hamster wheel sort of life. The song is just my feeling about how there are so many vices we create to get through all the stresses we create or allow others to create for us. Eventually it takes a toll. Can you sit in a quiet room with nothing?”

TUTV: Drained is a distorted, addictive, and bass-drum motorized groove
that goes on like forever with Krautrock-like dynamics while DePasquale‘s
vocals haunt all over it. Mindtwisting stuff for our daily rat race.
