12 Below drop their new single, ‘Jetsam’
Hailed as South Florida’s newest and most avant-garde art-rock band, 12 Below weave ambient sound structures and austere lyrics to a dark mash of industrial, darkwave synth-pop and post-punk.
Heavy drums and bass, haunting keyboards and shimmering, atmospheric guitars set the stage for the evocative and often socially or politically oriented themes of vocalist To’Be.
12 Below experiment with unusual time signatures and neo-psychedelic elements, can be challenging, noisy and discordant, but do not shy away from pivoting to motifs that are melodious and beautiful.
While listeners and critics have spotted influences ranging from David Bowie and Brian Eno over Marilyn Manson and Nine Inch Nails to Aha and Simple Minds, 12 Below are forging a dark electronic art-rock sound that has become uniquely their own.
Jetsam is their second single.
