Immortal Nightbody’s latest track, “Throwing Shade,” channels the nervous energy of 90s electronica with old-school synths and acid-like basslines. The song has a distinct mid-tempo electro-house feel, balanced with vocals that emerge at just the right moment, adding a new layer of focus. The lo-fi, retro music video complements the song’s vibe, offering an intimate glimpse into the world of the producer.
At its core, “Throwing Shade” reflects a gritty narrative about the emptiness of casual encounters and the gin-soaked nihilism of life in inner-city Los Angeles. The track’s engaging, almost nostalgic sound, produced by JooJoo Ashworth of I.CE.WALL and airball, carries an unapologetic honesty.
Immortal Nightbody’s project, described as an “anti-genre pop experiment,” emerged during the pandemic following a traumatic incident on New Year’s Eve 2019. Drawing on a wide spectrum of influences—Post-Punk, Techno, Shoegaze, and contemporary hip-hop—his music pushes boundaries while reflecting raw, lived experiences.
