Biography

genCAB (David Dutton) is an ubiquitous name in the world of industrial rock, EBM and heavy electronic pop. With vocals and lyrics now at the forefront and the production more dense than it has ever been, genCAB promises there will be something for everyone and that time will not necessarily ravage everything that it touches. After a 13 year absence since the release of II transMuter, genCAB returned in 2021 with the album Thoughts Beyond Words. Topics like addiction, obsession, and ego death fill the record, punctuated by Dutton’s meticulously crafted chaotic arrangements, with vocals taking center stage. genCAB’s mature sound and nostalgic influences help bridge the gap between 00’s alternative and modern EBM. Iconic Industrial blog I Die: You Die had this to say, “It’s Dutton himself as a singer who defines the character of Thoughts Beyond Words. While you can hear some development in terms of his range as a vocalist, his confidence is also apparent in his choices.” The first single from the new EP, EVERYTHING YOU SEE IS MINE, "Cake", is awash in synth and electronic layers, punctuated by pummeling percussion and his ever-evolving vocal stylings that elevate the song into stadium ready sonic territory. The rest of the album is organic and pushes the genre into the realms of hardcore and shoegaze throughout. A must hear for electronic listeners looking for something unique in a sea of the same.
