I haven't posted an article on the experimental soul band WONK in over a year so I was happy to find this one called "Cyberspace Love". But it isn't available on any of the band's singles or albums it seems. Instead, one can find it on an October 2017 compilation album titled "MONK's Playhouse".
The chill modern club vibe is there in "Cyberspace Love" although the feeling is almost as if the song was really meant to be played while listeners were actually on their computers or smartphones finding their ideal match via the Internet. Personally, I would just like to enjoy a martini in such a club while listening to this one. The music video is also kinda Kafkaesque as four friends separately see a well-dressed man pop up in all sorts of bizarre environments including one of the guys' coffee cup; I'm not sure but I am wondering if the mystery man is supposed to be the legendary jazz musician Thelonious Monk. As it turns out, the four friends are actually the members of WONK themselves. I never would have thought that I would actually be Neo-City Pop grooving to an animated version of "The Twilight Zone".
I wonder what the meaning of that first video is? The band seems to be in pursuit of someone who may also be an artist and maybe of someone who teased band or played tricks on them.
ReplyDeleteHello, Brian. Yeah, there is that rather "Twilight Zone"-ish element to the song. Considering the title and the lyrics, I would have expected something anime or live-action surrounding an online relationship.
