This week, I'm living vicariously through a movie about unlikely space heroes.
, “Follow the Cyborg” is a world-building rock experience, meant to be played while zooming through a–type city on a motorcycle at night. I’m probably doing the song a disservice by listening to it while crouched over my laptop in a disheveled sweatsuit, but alas. We are who we are.
“Follow the Cyborg” uses dramatic instrumental flourishes sparingly, preferring the sparse minimalism of a single looping synth or dirge-like drum refrain. Only Miss Grit’s vicious, thrumming guitar line cuts through the song’s static — and hints at the explosive emotion belying the song’s poised surface.
“I’m a real living girl,” Miss Gritt yells in the chorus. “I’m a real living boy.” In Miss Grit’s universe, the binaries used to impose structure on our world warp and collapse: Machinery informs humanity, which informs monstrosity, which informs femininity, and so on. Despite its futuristic tech themes, ultimately “Follow the Cyborg” asks a question as old as rock music itself:Wow, you read the whole thing! Thanks for that.
