Simulacrum by Frenic & Yellatone

Simulacrum is a deeply reflective project that explores the human experience in the mid-2020s, focusing on our increasingly intertwined relationship with technology and AI. It touches on themes of existence in a high-tech world, the challenges of modern life, and the feeling of being unable to unplug from our digital realities. The album balances both observational and cinematic tones, with a sci-fi, dystopian flavor that doesn’t take a clear stance on whether AI is positive or negative but rather dives into the complexity of our current era.
Musically, Simulacrum blends elements of electronic, ambient, and hip-hop influences, evolving from Frenic’s earlier chilled, lo-fi sound. Each track contributes to a cohesive narrative, with some bringing a Bristol trip-hop throwback vibe and others incorporating modern dystopian sound design. Across the album, there’s a sense of tension between connectivity and isolation, creative expression, and technological dependence.
Overall, Simulacrum is both a personal reflection on Frenic’s evolving sound and Yellatones commentary on what it feels like to be human in this era of technological complexity.
