KONTRAVOID SHARES NEW SINGLE ‘FOR WHAT IT IS’ & ANNOUNCES A NEW ALBUM ‘DETACHMENT’
Kontravoid emerges from beneath his walls of synthesizers with an irresistably infectious new single has announced a new album on the way. ‘For What It Is’ is now available on all streaming platforms and the new album, ‘Detachment’, will be available worldwide on March 1st via Toronto’s Artoffact Records.
Carefully strung together with brilliantly arpeggiated synths, dark, brooding vocals, and ascending pop hooks, ‘For What It Is’ can easily be left on repeat and enjoyed multiple times without lacking a new sonic discovery on each listen.
Kontravoid’s masked mystique has remained for over a decade. Ever since the release of his self-titled LP in 2012, the Canadian-born, LA-based Cameron Findlay has perfected dark pop with a unique composition which moves eloquently through the EBM, electro and goth genres. His past releases, such as 2019’s “Too Deep” and 2021’s “Faceless,” have no trouble reaching the most derelict corners of foggy, strobe-lit clubs, leaving listeners with no choice but to dance. With an uncanny softness and unmistakable songwriting ability, Kontravoid composes heart-wrenching songs that are both captivating and drenched in melancholy – showcased on 2018’s “Undone”, which has been lauded as a fan favorite since its release.
On stage, Kontravoid demands the audience’s attention with his powerful performance, masterfully balancing his specific concoction of harsh beats and signature rhythmic bass lines. He’s toured alongside Boy Harsher, ADULT., Drab Majesty and HEALTH, and has remixed the likes of Schwefelgelb and Kris Baha. Truly a man of the shadows, Kontravoid is an unparalleled fixture in the dark electronic arena.
