The single "love" by the music collective Albem is released on October 4, 2023, and will be the first single from their upcoming album "continue?

In a dark ambience reminiscent of an empty dancefloor, elements such as lo-fi breakbeats, ground-crawling bass, and liquid electronics develop organically, repeating stillness and movement.

The world is losing its ambience due to the social fragmentation after the Corona Shock and the immersion in cyberspace that it has accelerated. However, ambience is a space where various voices, sounds, and many bodies resonate together, and is the power that embraces them. Wasn't it "love"? Based on this idea, Albem tried to digest and sublimate elements of dub, dance music such as post-dubstep, drum'n'bass, and breakcore, as well as rock, which is their original root.

The result is a physical, organic, and emotional sound that is a departure from the virtual vaporwave sound of the past.

The playlist of songs that served as references for the production will also be released with the release of the album.
