Feels like: gloom, fun, in the city, strange, innocent, introspective, personal
EP001 offers us a rather short but very inspired and sweet experience filled with wondrous synth lines, fantastic use of chopped up vocal samples on top of beats inspired my modern trap and future beat style music, only with less loudness and excitement, replaced by more charm and compassion.
My thoughts on songs:
In contrast to the title, "Nights"offers a plate of bright and twinkling synth melodies and high pitched, childlike vocal samples on top of fun trap style beats. The juxtaposition between the carefree sound of the song and the blead phrases such as "are you feeling suicidal today?" and "my life has no meaning" create a simplified but touching picture of night time in a city and how different perspectives experience it.
"Zoe" is a major change of pace in this EP compared to the sound of the first 3 tracks, jumping straight in with some extremely loud distorted pads and heavily treated vocals. If this track is to introduce Zoe then I would think of her as a compassionate, special person who isn't at all shy.
"Silent" finishes the short EP off on a quieter note, similar to how it begun. Light handed percussion, low but warm chord pads and wonky voices and sounds create a sonic collage of a lonely corner of the city, deep into the night, as seen on the album cover.
