The Mad Writer

L’Orange

2012

The mostly instrumental album explores a madman’s descent into isolation and insanity, heavily drawing parallels to Stephen King’s The Shining. The music serves as a dark, dusty, and cinematic exploration of the mind.

The album follows a writer who slowly loses his grip on reality while isolating himself to create art. As the tracklist progresses, the songs become less cohesive and increasingly glitchy, disjointed, and chaotic, mirroring the protagonist’s unraveling sanity.
