glitchtrode - everything is fine. (FULL ALBUM)
The phrase “everything is fine“ can be interpreted in different ways. In this case, it is meant to represent deception because of its contents.
Say for example; you ask a friend if they’ve been doing okay, and they reply “everything is fine“. Meanwhile, the other person could be going through a series of overbearing personal problems, but saying that statement to provide comfort and relief to the person concerned about them, not wanting others to worry.
This album represents that scenario. The title gives a reassuring tone, while the contents within are the opposite, creating a desperate and isolating aural story that unravels just how unfortunate the circumstances are in life.
Personal statement:
This album is a personal reflection during bad times. I hope that y’all find some peace in this, too.

all samples are listed on the individual track pages.
inspirations:
- silent hill franchise
(story, atmosphere, visuals, personal. silent hill 2 taught me a tough lesson about life and relationships. left me in tears afterward and had an immense emotional impact on me.)
- burial
(“taste of real life“ aspect, atmosphere)
- nine inch nails
(industrial sounds, emotion, track sequencing, personal. “the fragile“ is my favourite album of all time, and i look up to trent a lot.)
- have a nice life & giles corey
(personal. “the unnatural world“ by the duo and dan’s self-titled “giles corey“ album helped me through some rough times, and i wholeheartedly respect the messages they convey in that music.)
