New Obscure Karma takes us on an eclectic journey from the bottom to the top; from darkness to personal acceptance through a spirit of electronic modernity and experimentation in the style of James Blake or Gorillaz, while also embracing classic sounds in the style of Peter Gabriel, the progressive music of Supertramp, and the origins of neo-soul in the style of Stevie Wonder. The Barcelona-based artist has moved through funky disco, synth-pop electronica, and ambient, and now presents a much more compact album where flashes of his previous work appear. Highlights include the tracks Making Me Down and Higher Life in the first half of the album, and How To Relax and New Obscure Karma in the second half, with the album's title track representing the album's own journey. Bioskope's experience as a producer of electronic and synth-pop music is refined in the more synthetic elements of the album, which merge with his extensive experience as a drummer and keyboardist to offer his more human and organic side, making the “familiar” sound like something new in these times of cybernetic appearances. In addition to creating an enveloping and captivating sound with the instrumentation, the icing on the cake is the powerful and overwhelming female backing vocals.

Human Machine is the album I expected to make for a long time back in 2021. After a few releases of instrumental and ambient-space music, experimenting with different sounds, production styles and genres, I decided to make something more ambitious. It was the first time I composed music to sing along, trying to captivate the 70's feel mixed with modern indie, pop and electronic disco music.
