Single Celled Organism - Percipio Ergo Sum (2021) CD-Rip

Single Cell Organization is out with its latest album, Percipio Ergo Sum, (literally meaning: “I perceive, therefore I am”). The album will be released by Flat Earth Music on May 7.

Single Cell Organism is master-minded and lead bymulti-instrumentalist Jens Lueck, who provides drums, keyboards, vocals, guitars, bass and programming. He is joined on this album by guitarists Ingo Salzmann and Johnny Beck. Lueck’s real-life partner, Isgaard, provides the vocals for the female protagonist.

Lueck describes the new concept album in this way, “Percipio Ergo Sum is another concept album, and continues the story from the previous album, Splinter In The Eye,” explains Lueck. “The two protagonists have survived the fall of civilization and the reconstruction, and suffer – each for himself, without meeting each other personally – from the past as well as from the present”. Lueck continues, “The “brave new world” displeases both of them, but in different ways. At the center is the so-called TV girl, with her perception of civilization, of people, of the world itself, because all this is completely new to her, (she has spent 16 years as an experimental subject in a sealed-off bunker without knowledge of the existence of the outside world/other people). In essence, she is fundamentally different from the other people who are either opinionless and uninterested or significantly influenced by the Cartesian worldview, (“cogito, ergo sum” = “I think, therefore I am”)”. “Her credo is ‘Percipio Ergo Sum, (“I perceive, therefore I am”), because she sees herself as part of a whole and defines herself through interaction. The attitude of both protagonists can definitely be understood as a critique of mankind in the age of the Anthropocene”.
