“Cicatrise Dud,” the latest single from The Earthly Frames, is the brainchild of musical mastermind Gabriel Walsh. This rock fare gives you a genre-bending blend of electronic pop and rock that Walsh himself calls “deeply weird rock.” Intrigued? You should be.
“Cicatrise Dud” opens with a soulful and tender vocal to later intertwine with a danceable rhythm section and build a warm and inviting groove. Things take a turn for the delightfully strange. The hazy vocals get layered with distorted, robotic glitches, building a complex and electrifying atmosphere. It’s confusing, yet strangely textured, and undeniably captivating. There’s an electrification that happens in the process as the space gets filled up with more vibrance and carefree energy.
Imagine if David Bowie and Daft Punk got together for a jam session fueled by psychedelics, that’s the kind of vibe “Cicatrise Dud” throws down. It’s hypnotic, it’s energetic, and it’s unlike anything you’ve heard before.
“Cicatrise Dud” is the first taste of The Earthly Frames’ new album, Infranyms, the seventh installment in Walsh’s ambitious Rainbow Table project. Each album in the series explores a different color of the rainbow, and Infranyms delves into the mysterious world of indigo. Just like the color itself, the album’s exploration of sound is just as unique and thought-provoking.
Open up your windows of imagination with “Cicatrise Dud.” It’s a sonic adventure that will leave you wanting more. If you like what you hear, check out Infranyms. It just dropped this June 3.
