PREMIERE: Arrogant Distraction – Helena Markos [Tales of Psychofonia]

Synthium, the latest EP from HelenA MArkos, the creative force behind the imprint/blog Tales of Psychofonia, marks a significant milestone in her musical journey. Following a series of releases across notable labels like SOIL and FERMA, HelenA presents her newest artistic endeavour through Tales of Psychofonia. In this captivating six-track EP, she showcases her intricate experimentation with sounds, textures, and vocals, culminating in a special auditory experience.
Adding a unique twist to this musical tapestry are the dynamic remixers who have lent their exceptional talents to the project. The London-based artist Void Cells and the Berlin-based producer Secondary Drive have skillfully reimagined HelenA’s original work, infusing it with their own signature styles and adding new dimensions to the tracks. Their contributions elevate the EP to a whole new level, enhancing the sonic landscape envisioned by HelenA.
Described by the artist herself as “just a pill against pain,” Synthium embodies a blend of emotions, innovation, and experimentation that crosses musical genres. It serves as a testament to HelenA’s creative process, inviting listeners on a transformative journey through sound.

One day before the official release of the EP, we premiere the track ‘Arrogant Distraction’. Broken beats, cunning and unpredictable synth lines, unfolding alonsgide HelenA’s condescending vocals.

Unconscious satisfaction
Your arrogant distraction.
