Evoke’s “CRYPTID” haunts the heart while embracing the human
Evoke’s latest single, “CRYPTID,” arrives like a shadow in the night. It might feel like a creature of folklore has wandered into your headphones. Still, as the track unfolds, it becomes clear that Evoke is using this cryptid metaphor to explore something much more intimate, the complex terrain of addiction recovery, queer identity, and mental health. The brilliance of “CRYPTID” lies in its ability to marry polished production with raw, diary-like lyricism. Evoke’s voice glides over tight, meticulously layered instrumentals, yet the words reveal vulnerability that feels almost untouchable in their sincerity.
Lines portraying the singer as a distant, monstrous creature capture the paradoxical isolation often experienced in recovery. It’s a clever nod to the way mental health struggles can make one feel like an outsider, a rare being wandering through familiar yet alien terrains. What makes “CRYPTID” especially compelling is its humanizing effect. While the metaphor of cryptids like Bigfoot or the Loch Ness Monster could easily feel cartoonish or detached, Evoke’s execution turns the concept into a mirror of the human experience. Each verse pulses with the tension of reconciling self-identity with societal expectation, while the chorus hits like a bittersweet acknowledgment of the long, winding road of self-acceptance.
The song’s production is equally impressive. Evoke leans into electronic textures and crisp beats, creating an environment that feels at once mysterious and intimate. “CRYPTID” is a journey through the shadows of the mind with a lantern that refuses to dim. Evoke manages to make the monstrous approachable, the lonely relatable, and the painful strangely beautiful. In a world that often silences discussions around mental health and queer identity, “CRYPTID” dares to be a cryptic track for anyone who’s ever felt unseen, misunderstood, or “othered.” Evoke proves with this release that monsters can be our own reflections, and confronting them can be a strangely liberating experience.

Bromsen crafts a suspension between attachment and release in new single “Concendrain”
Bromsen’s latest release, “Concendrain,” is very immersive and lives in the space between control and disintegration. The song smoothly shifts from focused to tired, from connected to free, and captures a complex emotional balance that is both personal and universal.
“Concendrain” starts slowly and carefully, the structure has layers that change over time, so each part can come out on its own without any stress or hurry. As time goes on, electronic textures begin to emerge, giving the music a mood that eventually turns into rock-infused energy. These different sounds don’t clash, they work together to create a track that is alive, fluid, and always changing.
The guitar, voice, and rhythm should all work together on the song. These parts don’t compete for attention; instead, they work together to make a smooth flow that pulls the listener into the song’s emotional depth. The arrangement features vocals that complement complex guitar lines and a steady beat that keeps everything in line.
“Concendrain” is really interesting because it has two sides. The track is about the fight in your head between giving up and pushing through, and between staying focused and giving in to tiredness. Bromsen and Reatsch work together to make something that looks natural and well-made. “Concendrain” doesn’t try to be cool or follow trends. Instead, it gives you a slow experience that you should really pay attention to. “Concendrain” is a powerful and thought-provoking work that sticks with you long after the last note has faded away. It stands out because its structure changes, its atmosphere is rich, and its emotions are strong.
