Yelmur’s debut album “How We Hide” is a wild and cacophonous ride that somehow manages to be calming and serene. The genre-bending sound design, manipulation, and aesthetics of electronic music are blended with elements of jazz, prog, and contemporary classical music to create a sound that is at times haywire and confounding, but also seamlessly smooth and hypnotic. The music is filled with intricate details that allow for new discoveries upon every listen.
One of the best things about experimental music is that moment when it clicks for me. It’s like I’ve solved a puzzle or cracked a code. As I listen, I can hear all the layers and complexities in the sounds, and I can appreciate the skill and creativity that went into making the album. It’s an incredibly satisfying feeling, and it makes me want to listen to the album over and over again, discovering new things each time.
Listening to “How We Hide” is a rollercoaster of emotions. The chaotic and confusing tracks, like “Insomnia,” can be anxiety-inducing, but they also provide a sense of catharsis. Meanwhile, the subtle and quiet tracks, like “The Price We Pay,” offer moments of reflection and introspection. Despite the range of emotions on the album, there is a sense of serenity that permeates the music. It’s like Yelmur has taken the chaos of the world and transformed it into something beautiful and therapeutic.
There’s a method to Yelmur’s madness, a meticulous mystique that pervades over each and every ounce of his arrangements that serves to allure and alleviate all at once. It’s imaginative in its industrialism, a real cathartic and crafty metallic sheen that fully throws you in a stupor of a hypnotic obsession.
