Veyl is pleased to welcome Marco Freivogel’s Prequel Tapes for an immense 8 song release, 'The Golden
Cage'. Completing an album cycle of themes and exploration which began with 2015’s 'Inner Systems',
'The Golden Cage' is perhaps Prequel Tapes’ most diverse and expansive work - utilising the artist’s own
vocals for the first time and evolving his production and sound to new, uncharted dimensions.
Working off the trauma of his father’s suicide, 'The Golden Cage' was spawned from a hyper-realistic dream
experience which revealed the artist’s path, catalysing new productions and techniques. The result is a
striking work of unconventional electronics that journeys through rhythms, atmospheres and
experimentations. A true narrative of a continuously challenging personal journey
Beginning with the tension-building, free flow of 'My Turn', we then delve into grief and anger with 'I Hate
You', which transforms into the pulsating tempos of 'Stranger or Lover'. The glistening nostalgia of 'Last
Things' marks the halfway point before grappling with the heavy introversion of 'Alone' and devious energy
of 'Mind Corner'. Nearing the end of our trip, 'Without Remission' uncovers the most dance floor tuned
piece while finally the title track closes things out with an energy that will linger long after you’ve listened.
