Friday, 5th August Luxembourg-based Indie Electronic Artist Tobisonics releases ‘Panic’; the first single from his upcoming debut LP ‘We Need Light in the Dark’.

Never intended to be autobiographical, but rather an expression of the anxiety caused by the voices within and without; Tobi gradually realised that ‘Panic’ was, in truth, about the shame he felt over his own failures to hold down a steady job as he struggled with chronic depression, anxiety, and PTSD.

“I loved 'Panic' instantly and it made me think of what I love in Daft Punk, Giorgio and Public Service Broadcasting (2015) and I'm crazy about it.”
Martha Richler [Resonance FM]

Having spent his increasingly volatile teenage years in a series of awful/awesome indie guitar bands; music fell away in Tobi’s early 20s, as he wrestled with his, as yet undiagnosed, mental health problems. By his mid-30s, Tobi felt trapped, evermore socially isolated, every turn leading to thoughts of suicide. A last roll-of-the-dice appointment with a Psychiatrist finally led to regular therapy sessions and medication. Tobi found himself flooded with years of repressed emotions and the music fell out of him. The slow grind of his recovery and music-making evolved together.

Nominated Radio WigWam Best Electro Act 2021, Tobi’s music has been played by DJ Tobi Lynn of Amazing Radio US, featured in Fresh on the Net’s Fresh Faves [Batch 390], as well as attracting the attention of Abbie McCarthy [BBC Radio 1] “Enjoyed listening to this, ace production 👏🏼” and Jaguar [BBC Intro Dance Radio 1/Mix mag] “This is everything. I want more.”

“‘Panic’ is not just 15 months of work. It’s 10 years of therapy. It’s changing everything in my life. It’s anti-depressant and anti-anxiety medication. All of it got me to the point where I could talk about this.”


‘Panic’ is out on all platforms Friday 5th August; the opening track of Tobi’s debut LP, ‘We Need Light in the Dark’; an exploration of the lessons learned by Tobi during his ongoing recovery and the lessons he is still trying to learn. ‘We Need Light in the Dark’ is out on an exclusive early release via Bandcamp on Friday 5th August and out on all platforms on Friday 7th October.

lyrics

The trouble is
If you're not self-reliant
You'll never do anymore
Than just get by

Panic

All Night Long
Panic
All Night Long
Panic

You have more assurance
But less self control
Less self control

All Night Long
Panic
All Night Long
Panic

All Night

What happened?
Control
All Night
What happened?
Control
All Night

The trouble is
If you're not self-reliant
You'll never do anymore
Than just get by

Panic
