'Anaesthesia' is a bluesy and sardonic song about melancholia, loneliness and isolation, and the approaching shadow of fatalism and cynicism. It's about a deep need for connection and then connecting to the wrong thing. It's about submitting yourself to an authority and the price you pay for doing so. It's about a light in the dark, guiding you to ruin.
After the hypnotic 'Engines' Flying Horseman now unveils a darker, more brooding side of their new album. 'Anaesthesia' is a slow-burning incantation: layered, intense and haunting. It leaves the listener suspended in a heady haze of sound and meaning.
Recorded in Antwerp by Joris Caluwaerts (.STUFF) and mixed by Yves De Mey, the song captures both raw emotion and eerie beauty in intricate detail.
'Anaesthesia' isn’t here to comfort, it confronts. A song that asks big questions without pretending to have easy answers. A quiet storm that lingers long after the last note.
