New music landed in the inbox this week (ryanoxleywriter@gmail.com) from Finland!
Alec Danger, a Finnish singer-songwriter & producer, is returning to the FINNISH music scene with the single ‘Cyber Thumb’ officially released via Ya Ya Records & Gigs on the 7th of March.
CYBER-THUMB is a popular culture reference and social commentary on the perils of social media: the cyber thumb we all have - continuously doom-scrolling through our content algorithms that seemingly seep their way into our soul (I think) Alec describes this as ‘’a socially-critical song towards algorithms and talks about our relationship with the internet and social media, our obsession with youth and showing others only the highlights of our lives when behind that facade, there can be a lot of disguised suffering.”
CYBER-THUMB is a catchy English language electro-pop anthem that would be welcome on any European radio station. CYBER-THUMB is an instant ear-worm for the indie club dancefloor. The track is off Alec Danger’s debut album Mortui Vivos Docent, due in the spring of 2024.

The video (which you can watch here) was shot spontaneously in the summer of 2023 in Heidelberg, Germany - using abandoned, empty industrial spaces, dance choreography, live footage and nature phenomena. Charlotte Kahler conducted the choreography, directing, shooting and editing.
