Synth Single Review: “indecisions infect my brain’’ by ARPRAXIS

by Karl Magi

ARPRAXIS’s “indecisions infect my brain” captures distinctly uncomfortable and shadowed emotion. The track begins as a rapidly twinkling sound skitters past before a distorted voice speaks of indecisions affecting his brain. The background is unsettled as the broken vocal sounds float with chopped-up discomfort.

Hollow sounds shiver and the sharply rapping beat moves with the grunting underpinnings. The percussion is metallic and shattered as it jumps with growling bass muscle. In the distance, an open-sounding synth writhes with a steadily twisting sound as wet, wobbling notes shift.

The rhythm is gigantic as it drives before fading away into wriggling, threatening sounds. The foundation rams hard and the unhallowed vocals move with dangerous feelings, the drums cutting like knives. ARPRAXIS’s approach creates feelings of displacement and confusion befitting the title. The beat lacerates while the bass snarls before trumpeting notes shine and another chanted vocal line moves.

The rhythmic underlayer is relentlessly heavy and dark while tiny sonic fragments vibrate. All of the musical elements combine into a wall of malevolent sound while the percussive grounding pulse never stops. As the track fades, more shimmering and slimy sounds shift before the massive beat slams the track to a close.
