In an age where music is often dismissed in favor of the quick and superficial, 808TSIE cuts through with a sound like no other. He enters fully into his debut headline effort, "Sleep Paralysis," a sonic poetry that takes hold over the soul and thoughts of his audience. Emerging from a vulnerable split-second decision, this cut breathes emotion through waves of polished song from the four walls of 808TSIE's home studio.
"Sleep Paralysis" is an unsettling soundscape yet beautiful, as if one were staring into the abyss and seeing art etched in the darkness. The unit's signature technique, whose full name is based on a type of anxiety disorder, is prominently displayed here, as atmospheric layers of sound interlace with beats driven by a pulse that mimics the disorienting tension of its namesake. The track plays like a whispered confession, with each element a small surrender of the artist's soul.
"Sleep Paralysis" is its innate ability to connect on a deeply personal level. It reaches into that universal space where fear becomes contemplation, the mind goes fast, and the heart is behind it. Based on their own experiences, "Sleep Paralysis" is a definitive and personal offering from 808TSIE as they navigate their place in the music realm. In doing that, 808TSIE appeals to us beyond just listening and feeling.
