HSRS (High Self Reset System), unveils a mesmerizing sonic journey with her new single, "Maze of Woes." This project is a captivating exploration of electronic sounds, intriguing chord progressions, and experimental vocal tones that paint a vibrant musical landscape.
The forthcoming EP exudes a raw, primitive energy that effortlessly compels the listener to move. Each track boasts a pop format but challenges convention with its transgressive structures, featuring uneven sonic spaces, syncopated accents, unconventional melodies, rich timbres, and audacious placement of elements, creating a dynamic listening experience. Julie's vocals are expertly integrated, serving as another instrument within the composition.
The opening track, "Maze of Woes," harks back to a funky era with its nostalgic bass and electric guitar interplay. HSRS draws inspiration from luminaries like Björk, Connan Mockassin, King Krule and Radiohead, blending elements of pop and funk with hip hop and even further afield.
But what truly sets HSRS apart is Julie's commitment to visuals and storytelling. Her music videos, often self-directed, accompany her songs. This single comes as no exception as we see the artist performing a simple yet aesthetically glorious performance.
