iota by Messier 16
The music is conceptually written with the idea in mind that there be as strong as possible contrast between the aggressive and the atmospheric. Throughout the album, you’ll hear large dynamic changes, anything from speedy blast beats to contemplative orchestral elements to mid-tempo groovy neck breakers. Some tracks are meant to be bangers, some are more contemplative, all while attempting to weave the tracks together into a 53-minute tension and release.
The album as a whole is a deep dive in emotional desperation, and hopefully, the listener will find it as inspiring, frustrating, melancholic, and atmospheric as it can be.
