‘Electric State’ started with us jamming on a crunchy bass riff inspired by Joy Division and Placebo. Alex’s lyrics are inspired by Simon Stålenhag’s illustrated science fiction novel about a teen girl and her robot who embark on a cross-country mission through a strange dystopian landscape. It’s a haunting and beautiful masterpiece that we both found really inspiring and we really hope that the upcoming movie is true to the eerie beauty of the book.
