Untitled Freek (ft. Shepherd) 12. Secret Colors šAfter the software hallucination of my last record Dreem Static we reboot back into the Metropolis underground: a never-ending computer simulation inhabited by freak machines and rogue algorithms,› says Quaid of his latest release. šTrawling through past and future frequencies to help process today™s hyper-reality.› If this sounds loosely like the plot of a wild and exploratory sci-fi film then that™s because Quaid builds sonic worlds that mirror the breadth, scope and futuristic visions of such films. šStorytelling is a key part of my music making process,› he says. šI™m definitely channelling late 80s and early 90s sci-fi killers like Total Recall, Running Man, Robocop and maybe some Knight Rider in there too. But all respun for the post-pandemic hyper-real craziness of today.› The sci-fi element also fits into Quaid™s incredibly strong visual aesthetic, namely his futuristic and very distinct eye glasses. šThe glasses are a Quaid trademark for sure,› he says. šI got the LED lights custom made by a guy in the US who worked on the Cylon outfits for the original Battlestar Galactica.›
