Scheele’s Green, Art d’Ecco’s fifth full-length, is a fiery reckoning with the world around us and the crucible in which Art d’Ecco dies to be reborn again. For Scheele’s Green, the malaise and disorientation he felt in an era plagued by technocratic billionaires rising up like Bond villains sent him down a historical rabbit hole tracing generations of self-destructive human behaviour.
The album is named for an actual colour, first synthesized by Carl Wilhelm Scheele in 1775. With the shade previously hard to attain, Scheele’s green quickly became a status symbol for the wealthy, who covered their homes and bodies in it. Just as quickly, they became afflicted with strange ailments thanks to the arsenic compounds needed for the colour. Scheele’s green soon became identified as a dangerous luxury the affluent were nevertheless reluctant to quit. “It created this literally toxic society,” Art describes. “This addiction, this allure, was such a rich narrative vein, the same way we can’t look away from our obsession with social media or other technological shifts that might harm us as much as help us. We want these things that make us look hot and give us status but it’s all a mirage. What if humans are just intrinsically drawn to shit that fucking kills us?”
