Execunit returns with ‘Rust’ single – Out now on the Danish label Town And Towers Records
Execunit returns with 'Rust' single on Nordic synth label Town And Towers Records
Out now is the single “Rust” (and the video for the track) by the Swedish alternative electronic/industrial synthpop act Execunit. Execunit, signed with the Nordic synth label Town And Towers Records, embarks here on a musical venture characterized by a blend of melodic industrial synthpop.
Originating from Sweden, Execunit’s music adopts a retro-futuristic approach, envisioning a dystopian future where humanity is subjugated by machines. The project was initiated in 2022 by Andreas Rimheden — known for his involvement in electronic music projects like Eternity Range and the 90s dark electronic underground band Morticians.
As far as the concept Rimheden is drawing inspiration from the dystopian outlooks featured in retro sci-fi films and their soundtracks by composers such as John Carpenter, alongside the robotic tunes of Kraftwerk and the abrasive electronic sounds of early industrial music.
