Maryam Qudus returns with a noisier, krautrock-leaning track that pushes against the pull of the screen.
Spacemoth has released “Internet Fantasy,” the second single from the forthcoming Inward Eye LP. Where the project’s previous track “Do We Exist?” leaned brisk and funky, the new song moves through denser terrain. A droning, distorted undercurrent anchors the piece while Qudus delivers a clean vocal melody over the top, the contrast between noise and clarity doing most of the work.
The track’s motorik pulse and synthetic textures pull directly from the Kraftwerk and Cluster records Qudus has namechecked before. But “Internet Fantasy” never slides into pure homage. The friction is its own. Guitars pile up in the final stretch, blurring the edges of what started as a steady, locked-in groove. The accompanying video, directed by Jordan Macapagal, mirrors that descent.
Lyrically, Qudus turns over a familiar modern tension: the difficulty of staying tethered to your own life when the digital layer keeps tugging at your attention. She treats the subject without easy condemnation, letting the sound carry the weight of distraction and drift.
Inward Eye lands June 26 on Greenway Records. Two songs in, the album is already tracing a wider arc than a single direction would allow.
