Probably less hit-heavy than ‘Metanoia’, which had instant IAMX classics such as ‘Happiness’ and ‘North Star’, ‘Alive In A New Light’ continues the burlesque, dramatic Electronica of previous albums. Musically ‘Alive In A New Light’ is no renunciation from the previous sound. eight, released exactly one year ago and aptly titled ‘Alive In A New Light’, seems to be the end point of his personal psychological transformation and the starting point of something new. The experimental, almost entirely instrumental ‘Unfall’ followed and album no. This was particularly true for IAMX’ critically acclaimed sixth album ‘Metanoia’, released in late 2015, which told the story of his recovery from panic attacks, depression, insomnia and exhaustion. Surely another key to success in these days!Ĭhris Corner always used music as some sort of therapy and to fight his inner demons.
IAMX LIVE VISUALS SERIES
Even US audiences developed a taste for IAMX, last but not least as IAMX’ music has been heavily featured in the popular American drama television series ‘How to Get Away with Murder’ with no less than 15 songs - so far! The visual side has also always played a big role in the IAMX concept, so the project spawned quite a few brilliant video clips for IAMX’ singles with millions of clicks on YouTube. The clubs got bigger and bigger, and especially in Germany, Scandinavia and Eastern Europe IAMX has a considerable cult following. IAMX is now in its 15th year of existence, and the tireless, constant touring from day one obviously paid off.
Release Magazine described the project’s music as “the best bits of DEPECHE MODE, PLACEBO and RADIOHEAD (sort of)” and this strange mix of references nicely describes the sonic direction of IAMX - and, on a second thought, how much the lyrics are concerned with subjects such as sex, death, narcotics, obsession, alienation and vague allusions to politics. IAMX dived even deeper into the realm of dark, hypnotic Electro Pop with a noticeable 80s touch and some crispy guitars added here and there. In fact the name of Corner’s solo project seems to be a pun on the title of SNEAKER PIMPS’ 1996 debut album ‘Becoming X’, and the early sound of IAMX is not too far away from the style of ‘Bloodsport’, the last album by SNEAKER PIMPS released in 2002.
Glam, gloom, grooves, dirty erotics and dirty electronics are the essences of IAMX, Chris Corner’s solo project after the disbandment of SNEAKER PIMPS, the Trip Hop / Pop group Corner started in the mid-90s with Liam Howe and Kelli Dayton. We checked out the start of the short tour in Cologne.
