about

Returning with his first release since debut EP 'Monstrous Subconscious', Trace Decay has spent the past couple of years mastering his artistry and evolving his sound, embracing a darker and more mature sonic experience that continues to push boundaries and inspire introspection.

A love letter to going on a much needed bender, ‘Paradigm’ was born from the experience of going out and blowing off steam after a period of severe isolation during Melbourne lockdowns, using decadent guitar layers, haunting synth elements and somber yet commanding vocals to capture the bittersweet essence of throwing caution to the wind.

"It's my own self constructed paradigm which in its existence offers a form of peace and acceptance,” explains Trace Decay mastermind Jordan Depas.

“It's so easy to let yourself become overwhelmed with everything, especially these days with all of the distractions which surround us. Sometimes you just have to try to avoid the sunrise for as long as possible."

lyrics

Count your pennies to the bone
Just enough to get you home
Where the times goes no one knows
When your mind goes all Van Gogh

The poisons on our breathe burning through our flesh
But did you have a good time? inside this wicked paradigm
In this wicked paradigm
In this wicked paradigm where nothing ever changes

The nights demise brings early morning
Just dark enough to stay in hiding
But when the light draws close
it means its time to go
But did you have a good time
inside this wicked paradigm

The poisons on our breathe burning through our flesh
But did you have a good time inside this wicked paradigm
Where nothing ever changes
