Music Review
From the very first moments of ‘Quiet Invocations,’ the EP exudes an irresistible allure, drawing us into its realm of mesmerizing soundscapes. The opening track, ‘Two Squares,’ establishes a captivating tone with its pulsating beat, arpeggiated synths, and dynamic progression. This sonic tapestry sets the stage for a transformative journey that awaits us.
Amongst these six tracks, ‘Parallel‘ emerges as a profound statement, capturing the essence of our modern existence amidst an avalanche of information. The song showcases the artist’s creativity with various sounds and techniques to create a truly dynamic composition.
“As an artist who aims to produce music that blends experimental sounds with a danceable beat, I imagine that people might listen to my music in very different settings. Whether it’s a late-night club or something more intimate.” – Nil Elses interview with Secret Eclectic
While ‘Parallel’ undoubtedly shines as a standout composition, it is not the sole gem within this EP. Personally, my favourite here is ‘Sun Effect,’ a captivating and dark single that serves as a moody conclusion. Its atmospheric composition envelopes us in a haunting embrace. Heavily distorted sounds and a poignant outro starkly bring us back to reality, leaving us longing for more as the EP concludes abruptly, yet purposefully. With ‘Quiet Invocations,’ the artist unveils a sonic testament, an enchanting fusion of dance, electronic, and post-rock together in a breathtaking EP.
The album released on 9th June 2023 and is available to stream on Spotify. You can support Nil Elses by following them on the following social channels: Instagram and Twitter.
