Deescawa's 'Hometown EP' is, well, something different
It's not often I get a chance to write a follow-up review. With the fast-paced nature of music, it's quite common for us to highlight vast amounts of music that haven't yet hit the public sphere. Today, that is not the case. Today, we can explore something mutually, and I'd like to share some personal reflections on Deescawa, and the amalgamation of his latest project. Below, you can find the embedded EP for Hometown, Deescawa's latest offering in his artistic outlet.
Hometown serves as a milestone in the realm of post-modern ambient music. The release navigates between euphoric ambience and disruptive experimentation; an ethereal tapestry. The 5-track release pushes boundaries of what ambient music can convey—frozen in time—Hometown redefines the auditory limits of electronic music.
As I listen through each track, I am met with an affable structure of elements you might find within the realm of dance music—this time—curated for a different experience. You will find aggressive basses, atmospheric pads, melancholic chimes, and distorted drums, fashioned for a new statement.
> Reflecting on Deescawa's statements
In Deescawa's own words, his latest EP serves as a "cycle of the course of a mental illness close to OCD and derealization." This isn't just an artistic statement; it's a reflection of lived emotional experiences, framed within music.
Moving through states of "remission and relapse," the EP acts as a microcosm of complexities, offering solace to those who listen. Deescawa explores the intricate relationship between inner mental states, as he references "sekai-kei," where the interior takes precedence over the exterior world.
By blending these ideas structurally, Deescawa crafts an experience that challenges our understandings of mental illness and self-perception.
> Some observations
Deescawa's latest EP serves not just as an artistic pursuit, but as a personal testament of the mind. It's an auditory mirror, held up to the nature of psychology. This isn't just music—it's an intimate deep-dive into the complexities of being.
Hometown is out now, and you can buy/stream it here.
