IAMX is the solo musical project of Chris Corner. Corner has repeatedly said that IAMX is very different from his actual, real-life personality and is a kind of quasi “act”. Whether an act or not, IAMX’s music is primarily concerned with subjects such as outlandish sex, death, narcotic intoxication, bisexuality, decadence, obsession, alienation and vague allusions to politics. Corner currently lives in Berlin, where he has found “the spirit to care less about the music industry and take an independent route.”
\n
\nThe long wait is finally over and we can listen to the new stuff by mastermind Chris Corner. The album begins with a sort of illusional song whereas \u201cKingdom of Welcome Addiction\u201d is simply extremely touchy and emotional. Quite slow and deeply piercing it goes straight under your skin getting you hooked on the sound of IAMX. \u201cTear Garden\u201d has something dreamy but also a harsh bass that doesn\u2019t let you drift too far off. Yet it takes your full attention and doesn\u2019t let you think of anything else, especially during the chorus. \u201cMy Secret Fried\u201d is another amazing piece of art on this wonderful album, spacey and mind taking. \u201cI For An I\u201d is an extremely interesting to listen to, somehow like a rollercoaster ride for your ears and mind. Another dream-like song is \u201cI Am Terrified\u201d, a quite sad one though. It makes you shake with its deep fear that you can hear. \u201cThe Stupid, The Proud\u201d begins with acoustic guitar and is accompanied by some soft and slow circus sounds playing with your mind, fooling it and pushing it around. Another tricky song is \u201cThe Great Shipwreck of Life\u201d because it makes you dance along even though the lyrics are not really anything you could dance to when thinking about it yet you can\u2019t stop moving to the music. Yet another amazing piece of art. \u201cRunning\u201d is a very slow song, deep and touching, a great closing for the album. Artistic lyrics take your mind on a journey where you still will be wandering around lost and dazzled long after the album is finished.<\/p>\n\n\n
