With “chapters left unread”, 22-year-old Berlin artist Dust of Apollon presents his debut album: an electrifying yet deeply emotional work that moves between electronic and rock elements. Across 14 tracks, the album revolves around themes such as identity, inner conflict, love, depression, and healing. Throughout, there is a recurring sense of looking back on the unread chapters of one’s own life: moments that once felt impossible to understand, and wounds that only years later found their words.
The focus track, “end of the road,” stands as one of the album’s most intense moments. It tells the story of the back and forth of two lovers, constantly being drawn to one another under the shroud of the night, and drifting apart when daylight breaks. With raw and painful honesty, Dust of Apollon captures the inner conflict between hope and letting go, between closeness and constantly reopening a wound that could have long healed.
Thus, “chapters left unread” becomes not just a musical debut, but an intimate self-portrait: a look back at what once was in an attempt to make peace with one’s past… chapters left unread that are now finally being read.
