Originally released in 2008, ‘The Man Who Killed The World’ is surprisingly relevant even today, so much so that Electrobuddha has been bringing it to our attention. Hailing from Glasgow, he’s not been very active lately, yet his past catalogue speaks for itself. The single also ships with a music video, which can be found on YouTube and linked below. The platform was in its infancy back then, which shows the kind of artistic drive enjoyed by the project.
From a sonic standpoint, the record is rather fuzzy and alternative, yet packed with melodic vocals and a tinge of 90s allure. We are in pop-rock territory, with production and recording penned by Electrobuddha himself. ‘The Man Who Killed The World’ particularly rejoices in its enlightened lyricism, with the talented Scottish artist making it very clear that he’s writing music for a specific purpose, music that aims to serve the collectivity and aid a way forward.
Delving deeper into the meaningful ethos that propels the record, Electrobuddha explains: “There aren’t many artists left willing to challenge what’s going on in the world. We have become quite a horrific society, and if we don’t wake up soon, we will become the masters of our own destruction. I am very much tired of wars, genocide, starvation, and world inequality.” We suspect that like-minded listeners will highly relate to such a powerful call for peace. Once again, art provides a shield against the chaos of our society.
