Continuing with the Rehumanizer deep dive, "Living Cell" is the second track off Maserati's 2016 LP on Temporary Residence. Maserati has traditionally been an instrumental band, but on VII, the previous LP (and my first record with the band), we started exploring using vocoder as an additional melody source and to lend the record some dystopian lyrical context (A theme very much continued on our recently mixed new record!). Living Cell actually marks the very first time Maserati employed un-effected vocals on a track, and I couldn't be happier with it. Chris, our bass player, did an excellent job keeping the lyrics cohesive with the "man reborn" themes percolating throughout the record ... we also pulled off a pretty rad production "arc" ... as the song progresses the vocals gradually become more and more robotic, absorbed into the cybernetic matrix. Or something. You get the idea.
