The existential crisis of love and identity in a digital age: “Hologram Hearts” by Sadkin

Cosmic Rhythms & Dreamy Melodies: “Hologram Hearts” by Sadkin

Sadkin is a band that creates alternative/art-pop magic with their music in the dazzling odeum, where the lights sparkle like stars. They are Duluth, Minnesota’s New Romantics, blending dreamy melodies and cosmic rhythms. 
The brilliant producer and multi-instrumentalist Max Mileski is the heart of the band, and he collaborates with his talented bandmates: Anton Jimenez Kloeckl on mesmerizing synthesizer, Chris LeBlanc on explosive drums, Nicholas Hanson on electrifying guitars, and Alex Piazza on groovy bass. 
Their song “Hologram Hearts” is a euphoric interdimensional love song that transcends the physical world. It celebrates androgyny, Novagender and astral ecstasy with passion and grace. Sadkin explores the potential of love and the longing for authenticity. In the chorus, Max sings about feeling like a hologram, a mirage of someone else’s desires, and how he yearns for a real connection with someone who sees him for who he is. The song is influenced by the classic Pop/Rock style of the 80s and early 90s. Max’s voice is smooth and expressive, capturing both the joy and the sadness of the story.
