EtaCas, the Indietronica/Synthpop duo from Oxford, is back with a new single that is sure to captivate listeners. Titled ‘Edit Your Life’, this song is a perfect blend of electronic beats and catchy vocals, delivering a powerful message about the dark side of social media break-ups. With their unique sound and thought-provoking lyrics, EtaCas is exploring new bondaries.
The duo, comprising of Rob Reng and Jefferson Duke, has been making waves since their formation in 2023. Their energetic live performances have earned them a loyal fanbase, and their last single ‘Sin Eater’ was a hit with over 10,000 streams on Spotify and playlisted by popular radio stations like Kiss FM and Capital FM.
‘Edit Your Life’ is a reflection of the duo’s signature sound, which fuses shimmering synths, rich vocals, and hooky guitar lines to create uplifting indie dance bangers. This single is a perfect example of their ability to blend different genres like EDM, synthpop, indie, and nudisco, making their music both accessible and thought-provoking.
The song, which is out today, is a commentary on the negative impact of social media on relationships. The inspiration behind the track came from Rob’s late-night session in a hotel room, where he came up with the chorus synth chords and melody. The gritty bass guitar and Jefferson’s slide guitar were added later on, completing the tapestry of sound.
‘Edit Your Life’ is a timely reminder of the complexities of modern-day relationships, where social media plays a significant role. The lyrics touch upon themes like jealousy, obsession, loneliness, and the blurred line between virtual self and reality. With this song, EtaCas aims to shed light on the struggles of navigating a break-up in the age of social media.
Synthpop, a genre born in the late 1970s, has made a remarkable comeback in recent times, riding the wave of electronic music’s popularity. Icons such as Depeche Mode, New Order, and The Human League laid down the groundwork for this genre, inspiring a new generation of artists like EtaCas. Drawing inspiration from these legends, EtaCas brings their own unique flavor to the synthpop landscape.
Their latest single, ‘Edit Your Life,’ not only showcases EtaCas’ artistic evolution but also speaks volumes about their ability to create music that resonates deeply with listeners. It’s a track that not only gets stuck in your head but also prompts reflection, a testament to EtaCas’ growth as musicians. With ‘Edit Your Life,’ they move forward in the synthpop world, leaving a really good impression on listeners old and new alike.
