Don’t You Forget   (ft. Hoo Bear)

After decades of technological obsession, humanity is seeing the results. Some frightening, some favorable. And Seattle’s own EMUH explores this dichotomy on his new EP, Dial Tones, out now on Feral One Records.

EMUH is a celebrated producer, musician, and vocalist with releases on Prime Society Records and Space Yacht, alongside remixes for Arnold & Lane and GAWP. He’s also an established engineer and producer under the name Hume Audio, working with clients like Casmalia, Longstocking, Mitch Dodge, Schade, Speaker Honey, and ZOF for some of the biggest labels in the world including majors like Universal, Insomniac, and Columbia.

So it’s safe to say that EMUH has channeled the advance of technology into something fulfilling for himself and beneficial to the world. Still, he is far from ignorant of what this technological integration has meant for society, and, on an individual level, much of this technological integration begins with one item in particular: the phone.

This truth makes it only fitting that the Dial Tones EP begins with its title track, which in turn begins with the sound of a lively conversation at a jovial gathering, one that the narrator is ignoring entirely as he waits for the phone to ring. 

EMUH’s vocals say as much with a smooth tone and light fluctuations in pitch, demonstrating that this person who is waiting for the call is still indeed human. In between the vocals, new bits of melody appear with almost every beat, like little pings to show what he (and everyone else who’s spent an entire party staring at their phone) is missing around them.

Next is “The End Of The World,” and even when the world is burning, the narrator is still staring at his phone, harnessing another frequent experience of the modern world: technological escapism. EMUH captures this naive and avoidant dynamic with musical prowess, honing in on an ascending guitar loop. Clangy and gliding, it’s just that alluring to where (like the endless scroll of social media) something worthwhile and entertaining could be on the other side of the screen, but overall, it’s always just more of the same social loop.

For the third track, “Frog Kiss,” EMUH shifts to alternative rhythms, a less structured approach, and beautiful, dulcet sound design. Dreamy, glittering arpeggios like a night sky unimpeded by clouds and light pollution. Shimmering sheens that envelop the soundscape like a warm summer breeze. Just as when a frog turns into a prince after he feels the love of human connection, when a human puts down their phone, these are the experiences humans can feel.

To close the EP is the party track, “G-Bounce.” In this case, the “G” stands for gangster (not unlike other applications of the letter), and EMUH proves he is all that and more through his version of bassline-driven house music. In a genre that is still in the midst of its heyday, EMUH applies subtlety and intelligence. On the drop, instead of a massive foghorn, he implements a descending tone, one that then slowly rises back in towards the end of the phrase, like a clue at the beginning of a mystery being the key to the solution at the end. This is just one of the mid-range sounds that is oh so groovy, but still carries with it a great deal of emotion.

(lyrics)

(Verse 1)
야 난 죽음 앞에 죽였어 그 독실했던 신자           
이미 곪아터진 신앙 앞에 feel like a 배신자
안했었지 긴장 기도만한 이상
막춤도 안추고 열리길 바랬지 지갑

떨리는 심장 잡고서 절벽을 멀리뛰기 
반년 쉬고 뱉어도 이정도 퀄리티
난 Repeat, Artist, Peace 전부 오버핏
녹이슨 신념 버리는데는 없어 거리낌

Bless the beast 닿겠지 언젠가
생각하며 쉽게보던 언덕위 on the top
건너가 난 항상 뒤쳐지며 걸레짝 
될생각에 더는 못해 세상 제일 서럽다고

여기가 내 prison 피땀으로 빚은
내 victim of the legion 없지 적힌 기준 
갔다버린 믿음 내 심박이 kill rhythm
피바다로 만들고서 처음부터 reboot

(Verse 2)
돌려잡아 매번 항상 위기에만 step up
그냥 개떡같이 배설 다시 개떡같이 뱉어
존나 개걸 like a zek ah 다시 일어 나서 개겨
난리벌인 놈이 켕겨 그냥 니탓하게 냅둬

진지한 바이브라며 킥킥대
마치 몰컴하며 당당하게 클릭클릭 ay
저기 저 빈민새끼들 다 픽픽댈 때
나는 PTSD 씹고 직진해

내가 check in this vibe 하면 니네들 retire
나는 피하는 victim 머리 위 나폴리탄
집단 짓밟는 나는 이곳의 Titan
깃발이 되는거 like Picasso

칧흙같은 이 곳에서 초초초 초췌
피가빠진 심장에다 펌펌펌 펌프해
Sweating like cocain 완전히 덫에
빠져버린 기분이지 좆좆좆 좆돼

(Verse 3)
Suck it my balls 난 그냥 벌이나 줘
내 앞엔 천 리장성 이제 이 거리가 추워
저 새낀 떨이나 펴 맨땅에 머리박어
니 잘난 허리 낮춰 배운게 딱 dirty랑 fuck

yo fuck that 난 그냥 좆뺑이나 
깔게 뭐 맞던지 철퇴
없다고 포텐 무너져 Pompeii
평생을 좆빼도 못돼 난 Cobain

난 그냥 Bastard 돼 따라해 Gangster Rap
식상해 그래도 계속해 틀니 Castanets
저기 다 매스컴에 나혼자 내츄럴해
병신들 초보자 멱살잡고 다 chest to chest

Masterpiece 아냐 걍 재수없지 
이건 걍 메시지 아니면 레시피
