Wretched Conditions delivers 13 raw (LP 10), unflinching industrial tracks that showcase Majestoluxe’s unmistakable sound. The A-side dives into his signature industrial pop style, featuring the standout singles Assertive Indifference, Money Mules, Life-as-a-Service and Blood on the Ceiling. The B-side, while more texturally abrasive, steers clear of formless noise, maintaining a tight grip on structure while evoking the gritty essence of 80’s industrial. Majestoluxe also brings in some of Stockholm’s finest alternative talents, with powerful collaborations alongside bodypop queen EMMON, horror goth siren Aux Animaux, Post Kontrôl of minimal wave heroes Hidden Lines, and the ethereal LIVMØDR.
The full album has been mixed and mastered by Jimmy Monell aka Mr Monell (EMMON, Kite etc.).
Majestoluxe comments:
– “I’m beyond excited to finally release Wretched Conditions, my debut album on Icons Creating Evil Art. While this album is deeply personal and largely a solo endeavor, I’ve had the incredible opportunity to collaborate with some of my biggest inspirations from Stockholm’s alternative electronic scene. EMMON, Aux Animaux, Livmødr, and Hidden Lines are not just remarkable artists but also close friends who share my vision for art and aesthetics.
With Wretched Conditions, I’ve pushed my sound into new territories, where you can almost feel the electricity coursing through the machines. Jimmy Monell’s expertly mixing efforts adds an important layer to the album. I’m immensely proud of what this album has become.”
