Story behind the song
"Uncanny Valley" is an immersive descent into a world of high-tech tension and industrial gloom. Ward C Locke constructs a sonic landscape that feels both familiar and alien, using pulsing rhythms and jagged synth textures to mirror the discomfort of the near-human. It’s a track that breathes with a cold, synthetic heartperfect for those who appreciate the intersection of sci-fi cinema and hard-hitting electronic experimentation.
In this track, Ward C Locke explores the unsettling space between the human and the artificial. The production emphasizes a "manufactured" gritwhere every sound feels slightly processed yet eerily alive. It captures the psychological tension of the "Uncanny Valley" phenomenon, balancing clean, futuristic textures with distorted, chaotic outbursts that suggest a machine malfunctioning or a consciousness waking up.

Lyrics
A shadow grins,
The mirror spins,
She glides like a glitch in the night
Wrong feels right.
A ghost in bloom,
In a silent room,
She haunts every heartbeat I’ve got
And I want it hot.
She’s my girl,
She’s my world,
Dancing on the uncanny
Uncanny valley!
Close enough
To taste the real, but
Slipping through me.
A vine-wrapped lie,
A twist in the sky,
She turns and the silence goes dead
Sweet dread in my head.
Barefoot and known,
But never my own,
Her smile tilts a half-step away
Won’t obey.
She’s my girl,
She’s my world,
Dancing on the uncanny
Uncanny valley!
Close enough
To break the spell, but
Slipping through me.
I wait for the storm,
She drips like warm rain.
I reach for her form
And grasp the strange,
Beautiful strange.
She’s my girl,
She’s my world,
Dancing on the uncanny
Uncanny valley!
Close enough
To steal my soul,
Just out of reach
Uncanny valley.
