Scandroid, the modern Synthwave project from Detroit based artist/producer Klayton, best known for his multi-genre project Celldweller, is Klayton’s love letter to the 80s.
The debut, self-titled album features 15 tracks, ranging from the driving instrumental energy of "Destination Unknown," to melodic vocal tracks like "Awakening With You," "Aphelion," and "Neo-Tokyo," rounded out with the cinematic epics "2517" & "Singularity." As a child of the 80s, Klayton has also included a cover of the classic Tears For Fears song "Shout," that he has been patiently waiting to cover since he first heard the song on U.S. radio in 1985. The digital album concludes with a bonus remix from synthwave artist Waveshaper. The 72 minute album depicts themes of a cyberpunk future where humans and sentient robots struggle to find a connection in their dystopian world.
Following the international success of the debut Scandroid album (Top 10 iTunes Electronic Album USA, Russia, Canada, Germany, United Kingdom, Australia & #5 Billboard Electronic Album), each vocal track from the eponymous release has received official remixes that take the synthwave epic to new horizons on the full-length remix album 'Dreams of Neo-Tokyo.' Available in multiple formats, including Limited Edition Cassette, so grab your Walkman and crank 'Dreams of Neo-Tokyo' to 11 with remixes from Blue Stahli, Dance With The Dead, Daniel Deluxe, d.notive, GosT, Makeup and Vanity Set, Maks_SF, PYLOT, Scandroid & Waveshaper.

Anyone get the feeling this music video & song is actually about Klayton & his love for his studio?

[@bonapart8453]

Everything makes sense now

[@GavinDragon]

nah robots in a paradise is way cooler

[@all.the.same.iProductions]

Klayton's the definition of MGTOW

[@FeministCatwoman]

+all sounds the same - intelligent music Never, ever... EVER, disrespect Klayton like that ever again.

[@umbaupause]

Well, his studio IS his eden.

[@canudeiro]

What the hell...it always amazes me that Klayton composes all these awesome songs alone !

[@hardfactsforever]

80s style, love it

[@RobeonMew]

We never left Eden 🌹

[@RachaelLines]

That Mohawk though..

[@akiowmmt511]

it's red swoosh cut

[@lover0777]

Klayton, my little angel ❤

[@captnebulace]

in a time when music videos try to be as noisy and flashy as possible, your simplistic and artists take on things is refreshing

[@binarydreamz]

This has some of the best vocals I've heard in a long time. This guy has that retro vocal sound perfected. Reminiscent of Howard Jones vocal style.

[@Dwayneff]

I knew his voice sounded familair and that hairstyle, that's klayton from celldweller!

[@NabilaScreaming]

Argentina Loves You! OMG you`re amazing!

[@MamaMia...]

Просто переворачиваешь всё внутри. Ты изменил мою жизнь

[@Zypher353]

This song is GODLIKE!!

[@MenschFeind04]

Favorite song on the album, happy to see a video for it

[@chrisf6403]

Thank goodness for study hall!

[@RajelAran]

The song still gives me goosebumps. Easily one of the best albums of the past year. Also, I need that jacket.

[@EszterSzalkai]

First impression: Why is he alone? Second: Oh, I get it! What a cool collection of toys and japanese stuffs! Love the way the backgrounds had been prepd. Awesome!

[@МаксимЕфремов-ы7з]

Damn! I'd want this song to be played at my wedding.

[@Ninerforlife1979]

This is such a 💎! UNDERRATED!!!!

[@funstuff7356]

Retro style done right. Wish more music videos produced for more songs...awesome music overall and very enjoyable albums

[@ewigesgermanien4174]

Mr Albert, this is real music. You are very talented!

[@Cyber_PunkBJJ]

a futuristic city wouldve been awesome! great vid!

[@sausboi9677]

OKay this is beautiful.

[@karimotic1102]

Klayton = Genius! Every project a highlight!

[@soyunceltafurioso3306]

Idoloooooooo

[@revelle8605]

Huh. This video has changed how I think about Eden, as a place in the album's narrative. First hearing the song, I assumed Eden was everything he sang about--a perfect paradise that would last forever. But now it seems more likely he's reflecting on what he was told about Eden, as opposed to what it actually turned out to be. It looks like Red was either lied to about Eden, or something happened to it. ...Well, I suppose if Red ended up in a perfect Eden for eternity, there'd be no reason for Scandroid to release a second album. XD So, good for that.

[@DumbVampire]

Harold W that actually changes the way the video looks. I didn't think about that. hmmm.. I know 'Awakening With You' is about Adam and Eev... is Eden about them too and Red is walking through eden? We know certain songs are about Red, because they reference 'Aphelion' who is his love interest, but the rest are probably about Adam? idk. I've thought long and hard about the Celldweller/Scandroid universe

[@Rachel-eq7uf]

I think it's about how AI is what connects us all and that there's been a reawakening of it across the world. I also think it's about how everyone's version of paradise is different. Eden was the birthplace of creation. Hence the diamond shape opening, the kid on the wallpaper looking through a telescope, the robots, the Asian typography, the Hindu Ganesh statues which represents a religion that believes in life after death/a rebirth and the reference to the Christian birthplace of creation, which is Eden. Christianity also believes in life after death/a rebirth.

[@superotterboy1737]

Your music is the sound of 2020 for me. This and punk rock is all I'm listening to this year.

[@alucard1355]

got to love that retro 80s look and feeling

[@shivagoddess333]

Makes me wanna be in an unreachable world

[@evasanchez2846]

awesome! 💜😁

[@CybergamerT630]

I fell in love with this song for the second time after watching this MV. Thank you Klayton!

[@NikolayNikoloff]

I loved this song the 1st time I heard it even before the MV.

[@georgec6405]

we need tracks like this in the ready player one movie coming next year , it would be sooo damn fitting.

[@putogonzalez9592]

Klayton and BT need to have a showdown over who rocks that Flock of Seagulls haircut the sickest. Collab the soundtrack, while you're at it.

[@XLRider2]

YES! This needs to be a thing

[@miked3168]

Puto Gonzalez BT is horrible now. He used to be good but sold out to make more mainstream edm.

[@Sosasoundstn]

Mike D actually he just came out with an untitled album that is a not at all like "A song Across wires"

[@all.the.same.iProductions]

BT's always been a more authentic electronic artist than Klayton. Check out his latest meditative works.

[@leriosatevis]

Klayton's voice has become something unique to me it's like the voice of god

[@melliott3845]

Easily my favorite. So ethereal.

[@faltenhallmusicproduction4707]

super schön

[@Queenofasgarduk]

Finally, seeing him in the flesh instead of pixels xD I do love him in pixels tho

[@Nextgen_93]

GREAT !!!

[@artesla5630]

Klayton is so cute when he is singing to the camera =)

[@ВинниПух-в4х]

just a beautiful clip for a beautiful song)

[@TransmissionTransmisjacoldwave]

Superb!

[@ЕвгенийКомаров-р1щ]

Гипнотизирующее музло)

[@Geekster26]

i wonder if the fact that the video is hidden or "private" is because only a few can find "Eden", if that was on purpose it's awesome :B, anyway great song as always, keep up the good work klayton.

[@wibarm]

Brilliant!

[@MekaKeisei]

Normally, watching a video where the band is shown kinda ruins it for me, but this just made it better...I think it's the hair :D

[@synthride992]

Another legend...

[@SincerelyKiara]

Yet again another wonderful masterpiece

[@Jalaal-san]

cool I like 0:44 that anime arts

[@andrey6990]

Amazing!

[@exphurtfan]

I really like that jacket Clayton :)

[@saptadeepbandyopadhyay8129]

Klayton I love u man.......

[@nicoraba]

Killer tune!!

[@MegaSwordofLight]

awesome

[@bakuganchannelnews]

Klayton should be a YU-GI-OH Main protagonist because how he dress and the hair

[@RiavanMontfort]

Holy Ra you're right!

[@Rabidfox-gc5fw]

Dude so you mean I'm not the only one who associates him with Yugioh? I literally imagine Awakening With You as being the song about the genesis of Cyberse kind as something that diverged from machine types into something new within their Eden made of electricity.

[@hydroliskythemasterof4751]

He's alternate universe joey

[@Lunr-rd7ob]

This looks like a cheap-ass sci-fi short film and I freaking love it!! ⚡ 🕶️

[@salmanhabib48]

cool

[@JeffEikenberry]

Awesome!! Can't wait to hear/see more!

[@RetroBerner]

I used to exclusively listen to instrumental synthwave, but I had to go back and get all the regular albums :D

[@vorpalkickass8825]

Breathtaking, as always... :)

[@galmechveteris2163]

I love the new music and videos Klayton... please keep up all the hard work and thank you!

[@Desidarky]

Klayton I love you

[@mezzm0r]

[@Maugrim76]

Love this. Classy music and cool video. I would not mind seeing similar stuff in the future.

[@completedissociation2626]

Oh damn

[@VonGrav]

[@unknown-np3ii]

(Southern accent) America is our paradise forever!! lol

[@iamoceanborn]

AMEM TIO KLAYTON

[@LilJakeXD]

I feel like I'm standing in the TV

[@MissozzyGrafa]

In my Cyberpunk 2077 V looks like Klayton :D

[@Sayako-sf2bn]

I LIKE SCANDROID. :-D

[@NoShouldersCat]

Definitely getting some Big Blue (Melee) or Guile’s Theme vibes at the beginning 😂

[@krislukat]

Me showing my mom my new studio apartment that i pay 600 a month for

[@thomasverderesi318]

His hair is fucking majestic.

[@brybaby89]

Huh, I always imagined this song as kind of an anthem, either Red or Adam speaking out to the rest.

[@HPTFan]

Atom you mean? 🙃

[@scrungus8117]

Man this Scandroid guy looks and sounds a lot like Klayton Wonder if they're twins or something

[@iordanec]

nice joke, dude!

[@ArchangelJaceAscended]

@account I don't use anymore Actually they must be clones because they also look awfully similar to the lead singer of Circle of Dust.

[@pumatraca]

Duran Duran.

[@tristanjohnson2678]

I want that jakcet.

[@firetail006]

Could have included a scenario like a lost love or something... love the song that much...

[@ProgMetalDark]

Muito bom.

[@efe_aydal]

1:58 the Japanese sign at the top says "Aikido".

[@imeterowicz4194]

How do u know

[@imeterowicz4194]

@sonk LMAO xD

[@ermenitravesticuce5605]

Kimi buldum

[@jackhume1525]

A little bit static, but it does a good job setting up the feel of the world Klayton is trying to establish in the music. Personally I imagined something a bit more polished and perhaps a tad tron-like. Its nice to see it from the artists perspective. I always felt this song was a celebration of finally finding a world for yourself where you can be accepted. The music video has a pretty interestingly stark contrast to that feel. The world feels empty and void, and the character seems more like an interloper who hasn't been discovered yet. The setting feels lonely, barren, as if part of an ancient culture that no longer exists and the main character is the first one to step foot in it after so long. Either way I enjoyed it but I felt the drift between wandering shots and stationary shots felt a little flat it was just missing something a bit more dynamic to contrast these. Perhaps a view of the past? Perhaps a view of the future? Perhaps what the character envisions the Eden to become once he's awakened his fellows and brought his people to their new Eden. Not sure but enjoyed it either way.

[@MalovskyV]

Why this great song have so little views?

[@Razzistar87]

Walking them empty streets alone.

[@gattochevendesterco7703]

you so cool

[@ValentinaBoltacheva]

where can i get this jacket?

[@Lexi_SubZero]

Right? *[insert Spongebob "I need it!" meme]*

[@ohpossumplays]

Rob!

[@XxInf3ctedxX]

Interesting... this is not really what I'd imagined Eden to be like. What you've depicted here is more like what I imagined Old Tokyo to look like... It's very dark, abandoned, dysfunctional and battered. This seems like it'd be better suited for a live action Empty Streets music video. I envisioned Eden as a beautiful place, laced with vivid lights and circuitry; other Plug-ins have already found their way there thanks to Atom and E.E.V, before Red and Aphelion find it, and they all clearly feel like they're at home and at a safe place. Kind of like a heaven for cybernetic humans; an opposite of Death's Door from End of an Empire. As such, this was a bit disappointing, but the set pieces were well constructed and it shows that a clear effort was put into this, which I greatly respect. If anything, it does well to set the vibe of Old Tokyo for Red.

[@umbaupause]

It's interesting to think that maybe, in such a technological future, their paradise would be what we consider old and abandoned, a little bit of nostalgic peace perhaps?

[@AstralDragoon]

But isn't the androids' Eden in Old Tokyo? Remember Pro-Bots and Robophobes: "He led us into Eden beneath Neo-Tokyo, an electronic paradise where humans would not go". It's a place too decayed and inhospitable for humans to live; I don't imagine it would look like a polished city. The Eden here isn't so much a place of beauty as a haven to escape human influence - to get outside the datastream and connect in their own way.

[@NabilaScreaming]

+10

[@koocoo]

I thought Eden was a Paradigm forever

[@SanxZallot]

In 2 Corinthians chapter 12, Paul tells his dream of Eden. It did take two thousand years... But the time has come. "Did we not walk in the same footsteps by the same Spirit?"

[@ssssin320]

Klayton don't get me wrong bro, but your face is so fucking funny...seriously.

[@1sonyzz]

i get feeling in the distant future lone half robot half human being with without his memories about his past, not knowing what his name is coming to city of only robots where he sees young female robot and falls in love with her, where they call that city tokyo the ''eden'' for robots thats the feeling i get when listening with closed eyes

[@r.h.2618]

You should wright a sci fi story!

[@koocoo]

i thought Eden was a Paradigm forever

[@NabilaScreaming]

[@rickblasing6794]

I look forward to better Scandroid videos in the future. One of the best songs on the album with such potential for a great video, but I don't know what this is. It has a certain cool atmosphere, but it really lacks direction or substance.

[@gr4ve686]

0:43 Chibis! Because why not??

[@skilz3210]

Well, it's Neo-Tokyo.

[@fahadalfehaid6689]

weres the machine head and all the machines

[@Rivan98]

El mismo cabello desde incluso antes del 2002

[@TheMiltonatorxNeonBytes]

ademas de ser un musico es un personaje por si mismo xD

[@TOYOProto]

He looks like Aaron Eckhart going through emo phase. I love songs thou

[@darkyussha]

I don't know why this reminds me of Mystic Gohan's theme song?

[@Rogue_VI]

I guess I'll be the first to say this video doesn't really do it for me. I would probably like the song more if I had heard it before seeing this. Video feels kinda cheesy and doesn't seem to go anywhere. Klayton doesn't look comfortable in front of the camera here.

[@MoonMagickMayhem]

JRogueVI Agreed.

[@kokichiouma297]

kind of agreed i mean when a video has him strapping light bulbs to his eyes yet comes over more comfortable in that video

[@Jordi_NL]

Ancap ftw That frozen reference. Good one xD

[@adaisychain4azathoth]

initially i agree but more i think about it i think that that's the point lol

[@MoonMagickMayhem]

Ancap ftw haha Agreed! Every video he's been in has been good until Scandroid, imo. The Shout video makes me cringe so much...and I LOVE 80's nostalgia! But neither that or this seem to suit the songs. And he just seems so stiff and uncomfortable here.
