Impressing with many tracks over the years, from “Trophy Wife” to “Edge of the World,” Les Techno continues to succeed with a creative vein of rock with meaningful lyrical messaging. “Flowers for Dystopia” conjures ’80s nostalgia with its smooth bass line and guitar licks, as vocals passionately project a reflective feel. Lyrically, the track serves as a reaction to being under lockdown for the past several months. The NYC-based artist explains: “One night, in a dream, I imagined walking out on a stage in some dingy East Village club, with the band playing this riff. I approach the mic and, like a wizard’s incantation, call out “Objects!, Objects!”. I woke up in the middle of the night, ran down into his studio and started recording it.”
