Energy Whores has once again proved that one can mix hard-nosed storytelling with a set of infectious, dance-inducing beats, making the New York City pioneering band a unique piece of art in these modern times; their newest anthem, "Bunker Man," can prove so. This pungent piece creates an extravagant image of a snobbish and self-absorbed billionaire while he retreats to his Plutonian, ornate underground shelter in case a nuclear apocalypse strikes at his hand, of course. It's a tale of caution wrapped in an energetic, progressive electronic soundscape that's both cerebral and danceable.
Bunker Man" sucks in the listeners from the first notes. This is perfectly framed by tight production and driving rhythms that delve deep into the psyche of the titular character.
His paranoia, isolation, and death are drawn out in crystalline clarity, almost the story of critique of excess wealth and power. The thematic inspiration has been derived from the real-life trend of billionaires funding survival bunkers, underpinning the song in uncomfortable reality, all richly adding to its imagined dystopian vision.
Bunker Man" should be the primer on how Energy Whores does dynamic electronic arrangements. Crunchy synths, pulsing basslines, and infectious hooks overlap hastily to speak to the urgency brought by the subject matter of their story. Because of its big message, somehow the song preserves its irresistible energy to explode on either some dance floor or in the most personal moments spent in solitude.
Energy Whores continue with "Bunker Man", a tradition of bold narratives presented with captivating music. The song is an ode to looking back at the effects of greed and pride while rejoicing in the frivolous moments of the present. Energy Whores created a track both timely and timeless by fusing dystopian commentary with pulsing beats.
