Big Empty Zero Expresses the Spirit of the Future Smart Cities on “Push”

Listening to “Push” by Big Empty Zero one hears a softly industrial beat like something that might have been conceived in experiments with 8-bit sounds and early video games but paired with luminously moody synth lines and an abstract, extended melody that gives a sense of being pushed along through a near future cityscape where automated processes see to the maintenance of urban spaces and can thus seem like living in an MMO or the world of an old cyberpunk video game but without the menace, just the sense of ambient and steady movement. The track has momentum but it never reaches the point of urgency, just a solid sense of energy and place that continues on day and night often unnoticed unless you take the time to be aware of those things around you that make your way of life flow more efficiently than it would be otherwise.
