I already wrote about Agust D’s Haegeum intimately, so this evaluate for follow-up Amygdala will probably be temporary. It’s an fascinating selection for promotion by way of music video, delving the depths of his previous traumas to create a sort of tone poem.
Somebody within the sociology/psychology discipline must do a research on vocal results/vocal processing in pop music. There’s extra to this than aesthetic. Expertise provides artists the possibility to obscure or rework their voices in so many various methods, and these stylistic selections mirror compelling concepts of what it means to be a pop star within the trendy age.
Within the case of Amygdala, the results give the music a cavernous really feel. It’s unsettling and darkish, reflecting the lyrical content material and total sense of desperation. Like Haegeum, I can recognize the inventive advantage in these selections. However, I can’t say I get pleasure from listening to this music or need to return for a replay. It’s tough, as a result of that’s kind of the purpose right here. My scores scale doesn’t do an excellent job reflecting “admirable artwork I don’t personally need to expertise,” so take my opinion with a large grain of salt (as you all the time ought to!).
