CS Hellmann is back with "In My Head," a bold and emotional two-track EP that feels more like an audio diary than a regular release. Hellmann creates a soundscape that combines dark textures, restless rhythms, and an almost cinematic sense of atmosphere. He does this by drawing on the moody world of Graveyard Club and the industrial grit of Nine Inch Nails.
The EP was recorded at the calm but creatively charged Polychrome Ranch studio, and it embraces experimentation at every turn. Hellmann uses layered percussion, spooky sounds, and unexpected melodic turns throughout its 8 minutes and 44 seconds. This release stands out because it has AI-generated vocal parts that mix human expression with futuristic sound design to create a world that is both familiar and strange.
"Love I Left Behind" is the best song on the album. It's a beautiful, raw look at emotional struggle, personal growth, and the weight of memory. Its production mixes warm, sad sounds with sharp, echoing industrial edges. This is a deliberate contrast that shows the push and pull of healing. One of the best things about the EP is how Hellmann can show vulnerability without losing sonic impact.
The title track, "In My Head," goes deeper into the conversation inside your head, where ambition meets reality and desire meets doubt. It's a song that moves like a mind that can't sleep at night, taking listeners through waves of tension, release, and clear thinking. The ethereal layers around the track make it a unique moment of emotional depth and artistic growth.
