Italian darkwave sensation TORBA unveils LIES, the third single from the highly anticipated debut album, II. Scheduled for release on January 10th, 2025, via numeronove, the track shows TORBA’s blend of brooding intensity and innovative sounds.
A high-energy endeavor, LIES pulses with sour synths and frenetic production, creating an atmosphere that’s electrifying and unsettling. In its second half, the track explodes into a distorted barrage of guitars, delivering a cleansing sonic shift.
Accompanying the release is a music video, completing a trilogy directed by acclaimed filmmaker Jacopo Dall’Agnol. The final installment ties together the themes of the series, offering a fitting conclusion to TORBA’s visual narrative.
The director explains: "Using artificial intelligence, we have animated disturbing culinary visions. Similar to scenes from the iconic 'Goosebumps' series, our dishes come to life, transform into human-like figures, and nervously sing words they are not conscious of. The selection of dishes and the visual style are influenced by retro cookbooks and television commercials from the '80s and '90s, enhancing the viewer's immersion into Torba's unsettling environments."
