RIVERSIDE's
Mariusz Duda checked in with the following comment about "Love, Fear and
the Time Machine":
"On the new album I wanted to combine the 70s and the
80s. The 80s were a decade of musical growing up for me. On the new album we
don't sound as retro and 70s as before, we moved forward, we sort of demolished
the previous foundations and build new ones. Despite the huge dose of
melancholy and nostalgia, there is a new space, the songs are arranged with
more flow and at the same time they have never been so concise and to the point
before. The lyrics on "Love, Fear and the Time Machine" talk
about a transformation. About making an important, perhaps life changing,
decision everyone has to make at some point in their lives. What happens to us
when we have to make it? On the one hand we're excited by the change, we feel
free, liberated, and on the other we fear the unknown, we are afraid of what
might happen to us. We go back in time and we go forward in time in our heads.
And all that happens when we have to decide something important. The first
of the songs on the album is called 'Lost', the last one, 'Found'. If we
sometimes get lost in life, it is to go through something and be found again on
the other side, to be reborn as someone better and more valuable. I would
like this album to be one of those that one day simply becomes your best
friend."
