“Under Way” is a 2 song, 11 minute EP that will capture your mind, imagination and leave you feeling somewhat uneasy.
‘Animate’ is creepy, sinister and unsettling. There are haunting guitars, dark pianos, some almost tribal drums and mesmerising vocals that will both unsettle and captivate. While ‘Very Body’ is an instrumental piece that follows the same unnerving formula. Both tracks are deep and dark, like a nightmare, whilst also feeling tranquil and dreamy.
“Under Way” has a gothic edge throughout. It’s not an easy listen, it will prompt feelings of fear while leaving you questioning your own emotions. It’s like a trip to a parallel universe.
It’s completely spellbinding and captivating, it’ll draw you in and capture your full attention, you won’t be able to stop yourself listening to the whole EP uninterrupted. It’s some of the most powerful, thought provoking music I’ve heard.
