Xikers have a reasonably loopy vary in the case of their track critiques on this weblog. Plainly I both love or hate their materials and there isn’t a lot room in between. For each Bittersweet there’s a Pink Solar. For each Do Or Die there’s a Koong. So, the place does new title monitor Breathe match on this Bias Listing scale?
Effectively… it ain’t nice, people. I discovered final 12 months’s Witch a disappointing title monitor when the incredible Bittersweet was ready simply across the nook, and I concern that sample has repeated itself right here. There’s a sure model of xikers monitor that’s all about being intentionally obnoxious. I admire the oppositional angle, however the music itself simply isn’t nice to take heed to.
Taking xikers themselves out of the equation (they’re a really proficient group and the rap right here is ok), there’s nothing about this track that appeals to me. The manufacturing is claustrophobic and ugly, melding tinny entice percussion with lumbering bass and an uninspiring stomp. There’s no actual hook past the blokes shouting “breathe, breathe, breathe” in a flat line that echoes the monotony of the instrumental. To be trustworthy, it’s not even obnoxious or bratty sufficient to be enjoyable. The track simply type of sits there, limp and plodding. Judging by the album sampler, there’s much more fascinating music surrounding this monitor, so I’m unsure what made Breathe a candidate for promotion.
