Split Vision use the fact that ‘House of Cards’ is the second single from their upcoming album ‘Echoes of a New Spell’ to combine retrofuturistic sounds with contemporary energy by employing the legendary synthesizers from Depeche Mode’s ‘Speak & Spell’ to create a dazzling tapestry of sound in which nostalgic glimmers and sharp-edged modernity pulsate, while driving basslines and echoing pads blur the boundaries between past and present, giving the track a hypnotic pull.
Lyrically, ‘House of Cards’ embodies a radical break with deceptive certainties and futile efforts, whereby the metaphor of the collapsing house of cards, which stands for the conscious renunciation of false investments in feelings, time and resources, directs the gaze towards higher wisdom; this philosophical claim, reminiscent of stoic serenity and Buddhist emptiness and at the same time permeated by a Nietzschean revaluation of all values, invites us to deconstruct old dogmas and question emotional dependencies.
With its combination of danceable beats and intellectual depth, ‘House of Cards’ not only proves that pop music can be more than pure entertainment, but also lays the foundation for ‘Echoes of a New Spell’ by unfolding its subtle complexity from the very first listen, promising a journey between sound archaeology and personal transformation.
