Lyfe Indoors: “Binary Crime”

The opening synth winds out like epic heartbreak in this single from Lyfe Indoors. Shades of the Cure, darkwave, and the milk left at the bottom of a bowl of Lucky Charms. Lovelorn vocals traverse the hills and valleys of synthetic beats in search of the solution to unrequited love. The lyrics are impressionistic, capturing a psychic moment rather than narrating a story with beginning, middle, and end. A sharp turn in the final thirty seconds of our highlights track “Binary Crime” suggests a kind of Aufhebung solution to the binary standoff. Or maybe the bicoastal electronic artist just wasn’t sure how to end the song.
