Quiche drops the enigmatic sound sculptor with a talent for genre inconstancy and returns with the fourth single from his forthcoming offering, "Red Eyes," arriving soon through R&S Records. Not only does the release mark another push toward the said highly anticipated album, but it also proves his creative depths and the madness that drove it.
Quiche channels the spirit of a young James Blake and a sound whose beginnings, like Blake, hail from the same label. "Red Eyes" is no exception. This track is a mesmeric amalgam of experimental indie, folktronica, shoegaze, and ambient textures, each layer painstakingly assembled during a monthlong period of total self-isolation.
"Red Eyes" pulls you into a dreamlike haze from the first note. Ethereal synths waft through the mix like ghosts in a vapor, and layered vocals are lifted off the floor, teetering between vulnerability and euphoria. Shoegaze comma guitar work gives the tune a textural, darker depth, as folktronica elements weave in and out of the track, bringing a human stomping claim to the raw sensibility of emotion.
"Red Eyes" contains an unmistakable heft, a yearning draped in reverb-flush melodies. Maybe it's the solitary way it was made or Quicche's ability to turn chaos into beauty. Either way, "Red Eyes" isn't so much a song as it is an experience that sticks around long after the final notes subside. "Red Eyes" is a warning shot, an insight into the mind of an artist on the cusp of something huge. It's a sonic breadcrumb guiding us toward what should be one of the year's most captivating releases.
With his breakthrough moment on the horizon, Quiche is an artist; you don't simply listen to him; you feel him. "Red Eyes" proves that sometimes, when the end goal is this unforgettable, madness is the only way to get there.
