SuperEgo - Vibrö 1
(track 01)
“This track is a hommage to The Resident’s “Theory of Obscurity“: the idea that an artist often produces more interesting work when he or she is obscure or unknown because they do not have to bow to the pressures of fame or succumb to the demands that fans and the audience place on them.
SuperEgo also questions people about their homegrown megalomaniac tendencies. It features on the minialbum SuperB and was edited by Alejandra and Aeron ofLucky Kitchen.“ -Dinahbird |
