‘Mind Control’ is wacky, absurdist, and wildly unique. The strange confluence of rap, rock, synths, electronic, industrial, and a whole other assortment of stylistic influences, Slay Positive create a genre and sound that’s wholly their own. Accompanying the song is an even more seemingly absurdist video that leaves you feeling like you’re watching your own fever dream unfold in real time. This Atlanta based fusion band are far from an immediately pleasant listen, but theirs a method to their madness. As I replayed it, the strangely unnerving repetition of the chorus line starts to get you almost infatuated and obsessed, almost as if it unconsciously embeds its own meaning into your sonic sensibilities.
Thoroughly unique and wildly experimental, it’s well worth a listen if only to experience it in totality.
