Single Review: Hasten Mercy – You Don’t Leave Me
Hasten Mercy embraces a thought-provoking sound with the crystal clarity of “You Don’t Leave Me.” The languid pace of the sound anchors it within slowcore’s purview. Beyond that, elements of early 90s alternative rock, proto-shoegaze, and dream pop enter into the equation. Vocals rest front and center of the entire thing. Grooves here offer a fractured sensibility informed more by emotion than tempo. Keeping everything neatly-balanced, there is a spaciousness to it. All done with care, the best part of the song comes from the clever lyricism. Word choice is exceptional, and there is care with which the sound is approached.
A whispered quality cleverly introduces the song. The approach has a highly original quality to it. Basslines recall a bit of Seefeel’s mixture of dub, post-rock, and electronics. Drums too, have an off-kilter aspect giving the whole thing that wooziness that radiates oh so much love to it. Over the course of the song, a narrative of sorts emerges, one that has such passion behind it. Various melodies waft up into the air filling the sky with a sense of true hope. Within the rest of the sound, there is a spaciousness to it, one that seemingly references endless possibility, even a slightly romantic notion to all of it.
“You Don’t Leave Me” offers poetry of sorts, from the instruments to the vocalist, proving Hasten Mercy to be an exceptional crafter of its own sonic universe.
