We first featured SamSeb Kierkegaard for his high concept two part saga, Luna, so you can imagine how excited we were when the rising artist released the third part of the opus, Luna: Dependent Personality Disorder.
Building on the same architecture of the first two episodes, which you can learn more about here, SamSeb Kierkegaard expands the journey with an accompanying visual.
Speaking on the release, SamSeb explains, “Luna: Dependent Personality Disorder is the third chapter of my EP project- Luna: A Fantasy Named Happiness. Continuing from our last chapter (Luna: Luna Moonlight), the boy from Reality enters a never-ending paradoxical loop of returning back to the bridge under the same dystopian red sky.”
SamSeb continues, “As the boy walks past the streets without end, he begins to question everything, inviting the sleep to forget about all the ever-present, humdrum repetition of tragedies in his sight. He imagines himself to be looking at a girl desired so much and to be holding her hand, embracing the glorious magnificence of her presence. Then the boy realises that nothing happened and ends up screaming…”
We love SamSeb‘s soundscape and aesthetic, with reminds us of David Bowie, but it is the intricacy of his mind that really sets him apart as an artist.
Some lyrical highlights include the vulnerable “I’m still climbing up the mountain of relentless rejection”, the profound “I’m still trapped in that place, in a garden without flowers” and the thought provoking hook “It feels everything just exists only to end”.
We have added Luna: Dependent Personality Disorder to our New Music Spotlight playlist and are excited to hear the rest of the EP in due time!
