"We, The North" by teh r4nd0m_3x7r4s (The Random Extras) is a project that asks the uncomfortable question: Does the machine work for us, or have we become the glitch in its system?
Born from a collaboration between a human director and generative AI, this is "Alberta Industrial"—a sonic collision of 90s mechanical aggression, modern electronic polish, and the existential dread of the 2020s. The album peels back the polite veneer of Canadiana to reveal a landscape of corporate burnout ("Mandatory Fun"), environmental collapse ("We Were The North"), and the hollow victory of keeping up with the Joneses ("Suburban Arms Race").
From the stomping blues of "Dumpster Fire" to the terrifying realism of "The Cobra Chicken," this is a concept album about losing control—of our borders, our jobs, and our own creativity. It is dark, heavy, and cynically funny.
The future is here. It was generated by an algorithm, and it thinks you're mostly harmless.
