In a bold move that signals a significant evolution in her musical journey, Akashic Gods—formerly celebrated in the dance music arena with support from industry giants like David Guetta and Fatboy Slim—has released her latest single, ‘Gods & Machines’. This track represents a dramatic departure from her electronic roots, diving headfirst into the realm of punk rock with a fresh, raw sound.
Known offstage for her dynamic versatility, Akashic Gods has made waves across various high-profile stages. From supporting SHALAMAR and performing at the McMillan Cancer Music Festival to appearing at Arthur Barker’s ‘Return to New York’ event and participating in Radio 1 Live Roadshows, her impressive resume underscores her significant presence in the music scene. Her feature in The Daily Mirror Newspaper’s ‘Streets of Peace’ campaign and winning Notting Hill’s local Rockstar award further exemplify her broad appeal and influence.
‘Gods & Machines’ marks a new chapter for Akashic Gods, embodying an alternative indie-punk spirit reminiscent of legends like David Bowie, Grace Jones, and Lenny Kravitz. The track is distinguished by its powerful blend of bass, guitars, drums, and beats, coupled with her vibrant and understated vocal delivery. This single emerges from her ‘Orbit To Landfall’ project, a product of the pandemic era, recorded at Carlone Music Productions’ Firm House studios. The song benefits from the sharp, live bass and lead guitars of Alan Riggs, formerly of Delta 5, whose work in past hits adds a rich layer of musical history to this new release.
Akashic Gods’ ‘Gods & Machines’ showcases her ability to blend sophistication with a gritty edge, offering a complex and engaging soundscape. Her expressive songwriting and captivating musicianship are on full display, revealing her talent for crafting music that resonates on multiple levels. The track’s depth is further highlighted by its exploration of existential themes, encapsulated in the profound message: “‘Greater is He who’s in us, than He who’s in the World’ – Gods vs Mankind’s cosmic battle.”
As she prepares for the debut of ‘Gods & Machines,’ Akashic Gods is visibly excited about this new phase in her career. The single not only highlights her natural talent and artistic evolution but also signifies a significant milestone in her journey. With its punk rock edge and ethereal undertones, ‘Gods & Machines’ promises to captivate both longtime fans and new listeners, marking a thrilling new direction in her ever-evolving musical landscape.
