Com Truise - 'Brokendate'

Показать описание

Music as evocative as the stuff made by Com Truise—master of the transporting synth odyssey—necessitates videos that are nothing short of cinematic. Hence the fully blown-out treatment for "Brokendate," which rolls everything from eighties cop noir to Blade Runner retro-futurism to slo-mo Hype Williams nods into one five-minute world unto itself.

Says previous collaborator and director Will Joines of 10 lb Pictures: "While I was cutting the 'Fairlight' video earlier in the year I kept thinking that it was fun, but if I ever had the opportunity to actually film something for one of Com Truise's songs then I could really go all out and create this whole world that would be specifically tailored to his music." Mission accomplished.

ABOUT COM TRUISE
When talking about the music of Com Truise (one of the many pseudonyms of New Jersey designer/musician Seth Haley), the nostalgia bit inevitably comes up, so let's get that out of the way. Yes, his songs tap classic sci-fi and proto-electro in a way that is distinctly early eighties in scope. But they're also remarkably weird—stutter-step proggy and intoxicatingly psychedelic, like those classic touchstones got drunk on lava lamp juice inside a pinball machine. After his well-received Cyanide Sisters EP, a grip of remixes for artists like Twin Shadow, Neon Indian, and, uh, Daft Punk, and a few floating MP3s, Truise's first LP, Galactic Melt, will finally enter brainspaces this summer.

I thought Com Truise was that guy that starred in Gop Tun.

This is the kind of song that doesn't need lyrics to pluck at your heart strings...

I first discovered this song after dropping out of college in 2013. I became nocturnal and depressed and absorbed the filthier parts of the the world wide web with Brokendate being the soundtrack behind it all. 10 years later, I am nocturnal once more but this time working graveyard shifts as I work my way to a Bachelor's Degree.
Take care of yourselves, and be excellent to each other.

If your jobless, fighting a addiction, alone, penny-less and feel bad that you have to rely on your family at the moment to keep yourself a float its going to be ok. Keep looking for a job keep fighting don't give up and pump this Com Truise as LOUD as it can go as you drive down the street. Things will get better because we will make it happen.

Met a dude in college who was kinda afraid to show me this genre of music because he thought I'd freak. I couldn't have been more thankful. Wherever you are Mike, I hope you're doing well and don't let anyone tell you you're weird just because you like music. Thanks a bunch. Peace.

A bit of cyberpunk, synthwave and outrun electro... Loving it

I know Doja Cat has gone completely mainstream now, but her rendition of this song in her not so known track “4 Morant” is an outstanding version as well. Fits perfectly with the mood.

I don't know why, but the small tune that begins at around 2:05 makes me feel extremely nostalgic. Nostalgic for what? I don't know. Does anyone else have a similar feeling?
