Week 75 | Tobi’s New Independent Music Picks
A totally random, whatever came to mind first, selection of the latest additions to our New Independent Music Friday playlist
Music reviews written by Tobi Davis
Artist: Izzy Camina Track: “UP N DOWN”
Independent artist and producer Izzy Camina delivers dystopian dance pop with new single, “UP N DOWN”.
Pulse-tronic, blunt and fused on a bitcrush; sonic-ricochet cracks the ambient open; and beats land, kick punching deep, tight, and hard; the snare smacked thin and brittle-sharp. The bass shifts in dark, heavy ripples of sub and low frequency spl; pushing, throbbing, driving the track in animalistic surges of compacted energy. Synths burst and rip in atonal, shards of electronica; as much sound design as composition.
Camina mouths lines in absence, in abstention, in search of absolution; words drip in vowel and hushed, throated whisper; syllables linger and drift. Camina’s vocals stacked in odd double, awkward and compelling. Part mantra, part musing, part meditation, Camina crafts image, thought, and sardonic aside.
A soundtrack to the 21st century dystopian driveby, “UP N DOWN” draws deep upon intoxicating thrill of losing oneself to the filth and stink of the oblivion chase; an anthem for a generation raised in the era of ego, where privacy and liberty have been traded for 15 minutes and convenience, where chaos has been prescribed to act as a catalyst for capitalism, and indifference has been normalized; a generation who, in the absence and impossibility of enlightenment, are, instead, in search of escape through any means unnecessary. In speaking for herself, Izzy Camina is speaking for all of them.
