Goth Disco’s Driving Rhythms and Atmospheric Melodies on “Chemical Rush” Highlight Its Themes of Navigating the Perils of Club Culture

Goth Disco seems like an appropriate project name in the music heard in “Chemical Rush.” The song pairs dance beats with a distinctive and driving bass line as the prominent musical elements. A touch of guitar adds grit without overwhelming the song with the kind of ghostly atmospheric sounds that one expects out of a post-punk song and the synth harmonics in the backdrop fill out the mood more than become the focal point of the song. The song which seems to be about keeping one’s head in a milieu of club culture and its attendant extracurricular activities has a coherence and sonic focus and its unique production and composition in the realm of modern post-punk sets it apart from a lot of that music that can often feel imitative.
