Alright, hop on the nighttime subway ride that is "Ketamine Girl" by akiaura and LONOWN, unleashed in 2023. This six-track EP drags you right into the underbelly of the city's electronic scene, where darkwave and corecore meet like shady figures under a flickering streetlamp. The entrance track, "Black Static," throbs and pulsates with beats that creep up on you, featuring STM to kick things off with depth and intrigue.
Just when you're getting comfortable, "Ars Goetia" invites Olya Holiday for a hypnotic spin, weaving melodies that pull you in like a late-night skyline. Midway, "Sleepwalker" slows things down, creating an atmosphere so thick with tension and unease, you can almost cut it with a knife. Plus, the music video out on Apple Music? It’s a perfect companion for this sonic journey into the shadows.
Flipping over to the second half, "Darkhearth" and "Painful Kiss" crank up the intensity with pulsing, relentless rhythms that make your heart beat like it's running from something unseen. Finally, "Midnight Skin," another collab with Olya Holiday, sends you off into the abyss with a cloak of foreboding mystery. In "Ketamine Girl," akiaura and LONOWN craft a world that is as unsettling as it is mesmerizing, perfect for those who savor the shadier sides of the electronic scene. -
