Melbourne-based artist EÉSH returns with a bass-heavy new track, “CONSUMPTION,” which delves into themes of lust, manipulation, and emotional conflict. Written, produced, and engineered entirely by EÉSH in his grandmother’s flat, this bass-heavy song is an alluring blend of seductive vocals, moody production, and hypnotic rhythms, showcasing the artist’s precocious self-made artistry.
“CONSUMPTION” opens with a soft, catchy beat that pulses in a hypnotic rhythm, pulling the listener in with its understated yet addictive throb. EÉSH’s hazy, high, and edgy vocals enter soon after. Tinged with defeat and exhaustion, he trails off in a lazy, almost hypnotic cadence that invites listeners into his world of consuming lust and emotional turmoil. The way he sings, with such nonchalance, becomes captivating—it’s the kind of vocal performance that lingers and makes you sing along without you knowing so. Just like the narrator, you are not sure whether you care enough to resist the temptation of seduction and further plunge yourself into self-destruction.
Throughout the track, a layer of reverbed and breathy vocals weave in and out of the verses, adding a sultry and atmospheric quality that enhances the song’s immersive, somber aesthetic and dynamizes the song. The artist mixes his love for dirty heavy bass with the shimmering melody floating above to an ambiance that balances weight and lightness with nuance.
EÉSH, inspired by artists like The Weeknd, pulls together a polished production and the sensual yet raw emotion that underpins the track. Stay tuned with EÉSH if you are into twisted dark music.
