Review
When it comes to "NEGATIVE", the debut EP from EKKSTACY, you can expect a deeply personal and immersive listening experience. This 7-track project, released in November 2021, showcases the Canadian singer-songwriter's ability to craft introspective and emotionally charged music. With a sound that blends indie rock, post-punk, and gothic rock, "NEGATIVE" is a moody and atmospheric work that explores themes of isolation, mental health, and personal turmoil.
EKKSTACY's vocals are a highlight of the EP, conveying a sense of vulnerability and sincerity that makes the emotional impact of the songs even more profound. Tracks like "I Walk This Earth All by Myself" stand out as particularly haunting, with melodies that are both melancholic and captivating. The production is minimalist yet effective, allowing EKKSTACY's voice to take center stage and creating a sense of intimacy and connection with the listener. With "NEGATIVE", EKKSTACY has established himself as a talented and innovative artist, and this debut EP is a compelling and emotionally charged introduction to his music. - Marcus
