Lividus’ latest single ‘Digital Boy’ details the modern world.
Lividus’ debut single ‘Digital Boy’ is an energetic offering that both excites and enlightens. The brainchild of songwriter and producer Matt Beesley, Lividus is a project spawned from the Covid lock down. Not one to waste time or fret Matt Beesley crafted Lividus utilizing Airgigs, Soundcloud, Bandcamp and other tools to create a “virtual” studio. The irony is that the latest single brilliantly critiques the current climate of society and particularly the youth of this generation and their fixation on a digital world and neglect of the real world. With stadium-ready guitar riffs and a booming chorus Lividus not only entertains but also challenges. Fast paced riffs, thrashing percussion and catchy melodies all combine to electrify the listener. Matt Beesley distills down his inspiration from Pink Floyd, Jethro Tull and Led Zeppelin to craft an instant hit that connects immediately. Adapted to the attention span and tastes of today but still staying true to his roots ‘Digital Boy’ is the perfect trojan horse to wake up a sleeping generation.
