Metropolis – MET 1301 LP (2022) A PROJECTION are a young Indie Rock / Post Punk band from Stockholm, Sweden. With dark textures of effect-driven guitars, lush synthesizers, and heartfelt, introspective lyrics, their music has frequently been compared to that of Interpol, New Order, The Cure, and The Chameleons. Formed in 2013, the band quickly became an underground sensation, owing much of their success to their powerful and atmospheric live performances. By combining a dense, sinister sound with suggestive video projections, the band quickly established themselves as a highly sought-after live act. Following the release of their eponymous demo EP, the band was contacted by several record companies, eventually signing with the Hamburg-based label Tapete Records. The lead singer Isak Erikson left after the completion of the second album "Framework" and was replaced by Rikard Tengvall, previously active as the bass player of the band. The band switched to Metropolis Records for their third album "Section" Bandcamp 試聴 https://aprojection.bandcamp.com/album/in-a-different-light

Truly one of the most captivating acts in the genre!” - Metropolis Records “Morphogenesis” is an album consisting of nine songs which are interconnected with the deeper meaning of the evolutionary process where each song is tuned to be part of a single entity. It represents a gateway into the virtual world of illusion, one that modern man has appropriated and irrevocably strives to keep as an extension of his physical being that is lost in a constructed contentedness. -Paradox Obscur Bandcamp https://paradoxobscur.bandcamp.com/album/morphogenesis
