There's a special kind of magic that occurs when sound transcends music, rising to the level of an experience, which is very much the case with "Coven," the latest release by the mysterious artist Mortez. What elevates "Coven" is its capacity to hold space, not rushing but beckoning you in with insinuating chords, allowing the silence to take a breath, and then swamping you with melodies that leave you both cold and moved. The sound design is also dreamlike, or perhaps dreamlike right on the precipice of a nightmare, but in an alluring way.
"Coven" draws you into its world, one where the shadows dance and where melody billows like smoke on the breeze. The production is rich in atmosphere, with each layer carefully layered to build tension and emotion. It's not flashy or overwrought; it's immersive and deliberate, enveloping you in a gauzy blanket of cinematic eerie beauty. The richness of the textures and the emotional weight behind each note make it something more than just a terrific listen, but it's a full-body experience.
And Mortez isn't looking to follow any trends; what he's making is personal and powerful. "Coven" murmurs more than it yells, somehow making a louder, more resounding echo. As an artistic statement, it's a daring one, particularly for an age of instant-gratification tracks. "Coven" is a reminder that music is still capable of carrying us away, moving us, and haunting us, in the most supernatural sense of the word. For you, too lazy to light a candle but with enough patience for haunting depth and atmosphere, Mortez has captured something picture-perfect here.
