“Caught In A Web” sounds like Super Massive was tapping into some early 90s Berlin dance club that hosted Lene Lovich to infuse the song with some eccentric retro flavor. Its bouncy rhythms and percussive synth tones conspire to support the song’s themes of the modern fact of being connected with all kinds of people due to social media and the way technology interacts with our lives and impacts our psyches and self-conceptions, how that warps how we relate to one another and by association how modern life often makes being connected necessary to function with the economy even if we minimize our participation. Super Massive plays upon how that connectivity has its own seductive energy that encourages knowing too much about what other people are up to in an insidious kind of surveillance culture.
