Formless State have released the official music video for “Forward”, a cold industrial and darkwave track built on mechanical repetition, metallic textures and detached female vocals. The “Forward” video pairs the song with a science-fiction, machine-world setting that follows a lone operator moving through fog, heat and steel.
Formless State is an electronic project working between minimal darkwave, industrial electronic and machine-world science fiction, with a cold, repetitive and cinematic approach.
Inside Formless State’s ‘Forward’
The track holds to a rigid, repetitive structure, with the detached vocal set against harsh mechanical sound and metal textures. The accompanying visual keeps to a single idea of forward motion, setting the song’s industrial cadence against a stark machine-world backdrop rather than a performance clip.
