Space Remedy brings you the dexterity of metal instrumentation, all within a moment. Their songs have the complexity of famed metal bands across the world. Yet-there is a signature radiation in their music that makes them so instantly recognisable. Atmosphere is presented before theme, allowing you to soak in the music in its truest format. This is their latest single, As I’m Drowning.
Their previous release was called Physicalism, released back in 2022. In 3 years, the band might have created a detail within their sound that is enviable to say at the least. Opening with the ambience and a guitar solo that has psychedelic phrasings-the band is able to capture your psyche. It continues like an epic, having some interesting layers that percolate as the song keeps progressing. Synth leads will tantalize between verse sections, creating a beautiful back and forth between instruments.
I must also commend the amazing production that brings the narrative to life. Space Remedy is actually using the metrics of time and space to create something that is spectacular and constantly evolving in terms of tonality as well. It might take you by surprise, the scale shifting and amplifying the feeling of drowning. The boys from Bengaluru have made a splash that has cascading ripples-something that garners a rage with the eventual suffocation that might come to experiencing an event like this.
Not to compare, but this evolution of the band seems to be excited to tell more narratives. There are dichotomies in sound that they have been able to retain, while creating a bridge for darker, more complex melodic sections. It’s a great effort by a band is forging their path-with explorative progressive metal.
