London-based artist Jessica English returns under her Strange DNA moniker with ‘Reanimate’, a captivating collision of dark electronic pop, haunting atmospheres and thought-provoking social commentary.
Drawing inspiration from the shadowy electronic worlds of Molchat Doma and She Wants Revenge, ‘Reanimate’ combines unsettling synth textures with seductive dark-pop melodies. But beneath its atmospheric production lies a powerful examination of the prejudices that continue to haunt contemporary society, confronting racism, homophobia and hatred disguised as religious conviction.
Influenced by horror cinema and themes of transformation, Strange DNA uses supernatural imagery to explore deeply human experiences of identity, alienation and belonging.
Following her debut offering ‘CRY’, she expands the project’s cinematic universe while delivering a timely reminder that even in the darkest circumstances, the possibility of renewal remains.
