โSong of the Siren Savedโ by Deep Cricket Night is an introspective journey through the complexities of life during the COVID-19 pandemic. This 10-track album skillfully navigates intricate instrumentals, introspective lyricism, and hazy vocals to capture a sense of desperation and desolation with cabin fever engulfing many during this challenging time.
The album kicks off with โDownpour, Same,โ featuring melodic guitars, a haunting patter, and deep, resonant vocals that emphasize the monotony of pandemic life. Track three, โStellar Jay,โ continues the melancholic tone with slow-paced, contemplative vocals. Atmospheric sound effects and low revving create a sense of eerie dissolution.
A standout moment arrives with โSometimes When She Sings,โ evoking longing and nostalgia. The track begins with suspenseful guitar riffs within a swirling, ambient soundscape.
The album is a journey through a spectrum of emotions, culminating with โSkulls Reach.โ This track commences with rumbling low glitchy effects before launching into an enigmatic, cinematic melody. Drums and riffing guitars lead listeners through dynamic shifts, reflecting the pandemicโs turmoil and unpredictability.
Giving you a whole different look, feel, and sound, Deep Cricket Night has emerged out of the pandemic cocoon as a different entity. โSong of the Siren Savedโ is unlike anything you have heard before. If you want to put a name on it, then we would have to say itโs very much similar to Joy Division, 1970s Pink Floyd andย Syd. So, if you have love for these musicians, you can definitely put a number on Deep Cricket Night and their transformative sound in โSong of the Siren Saved.โ
