Los Angeles Dark Electro Project Frontal Boundary Debuts New Single “Shutting Down”

In a world where social media drives constant comparison, the relentless pursuit of an elusive ideal of success exacerbates feelings of inadequacy and the battle to advance. This reality is sharply encapsulated in Shutting Down, the latest single from Los Angeles-based dark electro trio Frontal Boundary.

The track confronts the pervasive fear of never quite measuring up, no matter how hard one tries. It delves into the crushing pressure to excel in every aspect of life—a bar set frustratingly high and often unattainable. Shutting Down speaks to the taxing endeavor of balancing one’s own emotional needs with those of others, a juggling act that frequently results in feeling overwhelmed and underappreciated.

To confront – and exorcise – this particular frustration, Shutting Down masterfully combines industrial, EBM, and Aggrotech elements to create an enveloping and atmospheric sound, marked by haunting melodies, pulsating beats, and growling, aggressive hisses as the lead vocal. You can practically feel the determination to succeed in this banger of an anthem.

Shutting Down explores the universal struggles we all face – the internal battles of balancing our emotions and those of the people around us,” says the band. “It’s a reflection of the constant effort to move forward, even when it feels like we’re never quite enough.”
