LA Acid Punks VR Sex Explore Self Absorbed Myopia in “Live (In A Dream)”

He’s a surrogate for love

Sticks to skin just like a glove

Talks your ear off every night

But gives your nose the devil’s dust

Los Angeles cultural anthropological outfit VR SEX are gearing up for the imminent release of Rough Dimension, a new LP out next Friday via Dais Records. To guide us through the sordid study of the land of dreams, Andrew Clinco (Drab Majesty) once again dons the moniker “Noel Skum” for this project. With VR Sex, his acid punk musical guise,  he poetically explores darker and heavier sounds, while traversing the seedier roadways and passages of the human experience.

In the latest single from the album, “Live (In A Dream)”, Skum vents his fascination with…and scorn for…the seedy, surreal margins of low-life Los Angeles. The band weaves themes of futurist sleaze within a framework of driving, distorted guitars, and cathode-blasted synths, channeling The Damned and The Fall. His muses: those doomed to dead ends of vanity, lust, and technology. After all, “Noel Skum” is just the rearranged letters of Elon Musk.

The visualizer and lyric video for the track is “a brief yet familiar story of delusion and destruction. The song is a tale of myopia while the video zooms out and observes the world and its both natural and man-made absurdities and atrocities,” says Skum. Cleverly using stock footage from various skirmishes throughout the 20th century, everything old is new again. Everything is returning on the karmic wheel. It perfectly illustrates Skum’s candid delivery of resistance to the same old BS.

Watch the video for “Live In A Dream”, below:

Rough Dimension takes its title from an architectural phrase – but more importantly refers to the warped, wicked underworld the songs both chronicle and condemn. The album melds the melodic and the macabre with a 21st century Babylon absurdism.

Rough Dimension will be released on March 25th, 2022. VR SEX will be on tour in North America from March 24 – April 30th.  Check out the tour dates listed below and don’t miss out.
