Soulwax 's first new album in 8 years: "All Systems Are Lying". Since 1995, David and Stephen Dewaele have consistently pushed the boundaries of music into new and innovative territory by diversifying into many different guises. They are a band (Soulwax), djs (2manydjs), a record label (DEEWEE) and a sound system (Despacio). All Systems Are Lying has a creative conceit of its own: It’s a “rock album made without any electric guitars”, according to David and Stephen Dewaele, the Belgian brothers behind Soulwax, “built entirely from modular synths, live drums, tape machines, and processed vocals”. The record is billed as “a fractured mirror held up to modern society on the brink—where truth is distorted by filters, algorithms and noise”. Also see OK Computer and The Freewheelin’ Bob Dylan, not to mention Spoon‘s Hot Thoughts (2017), which used a similar Oulipian approach, omitting acoustic guitars and relying primarily on synths, percussion, and studio craft for its construction.
