Neo Dimes, the Denver darkwave project of Stephen Edmunds, has released his debut full-length album Alone, blending industrial rock, dark synth, and brooding atmospherics reminiscent of Nine Inch Nails and Depeche Mode. The album explores interconnected systems of control through themes of addiction, technology, surveillance, and existential isolation. A accompanying video for the single Trigger, directed by Ty Borkowski, visualizes authoritarian mass media control through Orwellian imagery. Edmunds contextualizes the work within personal upheaval—job loss coinciding with his daughter’s birth into a world of diminishing rights and advancing tyranny. Tracks like Angels reframe divine protection as technological surveillance, while God’s Perfect Meme and Don’t Think dissect cultural hypocrisy, propaganda, and the machinery of extremism. The album ultimately confronts the terror of internal solitude and disconnection amid a hyper-connected, algorithmically controlled existence.
