Taken from Owens' third album LP.8, 'Sonic 8' is a brooding, uncompromising, nay apocalyptic slice of sparse electro. As with Helen McCookerybook's 'Wake Up', there is a sense of something coming to the boil in this spoken word piece.
"This is an emergency" she states "This is a wake up call". Before asking "What are you gonna do about it?".
There are references to divide and conquer and to feeling tired while wanting to be free together but she's deliberately opaque in her targets, meaning the track can be taken as a general statement about the world rather than aimed at a specific wrong or issue. As such, it's both statement and work of art.
