Very proud to present a new track by @real_tears from 'V.A.L.I.S. EP'. The full EP drops on May 13th on @esc_records

Last in the EP, we have 'Don't Want U'. This anthemic track sets a standard that most RnG and Neo-Grime artists dream of hitting in their instrumentals. Similar to the EP's opener, 'Don't Want U' uses the focus of female vocal hooks to channel you into a deeper sense of personal emotion, whilst its techy drum programming and atmosphere drives these feelings into a sense of progression and growth. Equipped with a piano-led outro, 'Don't Want U' rounds off the EP with a euphoria-drenched farewell.

Six Words To Describe The Ending

save point (ICO-heal Remix)

akaJazy’s new EP takes influence from nature and environments with a focus on lichen, made through glitchy sound design and ambient composition to showcase how lichen grows and sounds. The EP was influenced by Cladonia (what the EP is named after), in particular the biology and aesthetic of the lichen itself.

Naivety in Gaslighting: A Study in Vulnerability and Perception
Gaslighting is a psychological manipulation that distorts one’s perception of reality, creating doubt and disorientation. The concept carries with it a sense of unease and deception, yet it also reveals a subtler, more human trait: naivety. It is this intersection of innocence and manipulation that your album, Naivety in Gaslighting, seems poised to explore, and it’s a fitting metaphor for the experimental nature of ambient music.

The Duality of Naivety
Naivety is often framed as a weakness, an inability to see the world as it truly is. But in the context of gaslighting, it represents openness—a willingness to trust, to believe, and to engage with an alternate reality. This openness, however, becomes the very vulnerability that manipulators exploit. Within this tension lies profound emotional depth, making naivety an evocative theme for an ambient music album.

Experimental ambient music thrives on subtleties, often weaving layers of sound that challenge listeners to interpret and reconstruct meaning. In the same way, naivety in the face of gaslighting compels us to grapple with the blurred line between what is real and what is imagined. The emotional texture of naivety—the yearning for clarity, the ache of doubt, and the hope for reconciliation—can be sonically translated through haunting drones, fragmented melodies, and shifting tonal landscapes.

Gaslighting as a Structural Concept
Gaslighting operates through subtlety and repetition, qualities that parallel ambient music’s immersive and looping nature. A gaslighter’s steady erosion of truth mirrors the way ambient soundscapes can obscure, distort, and reshape motifs over time. The listener, much like the gaslit individual, is placed in a position of re-evaluating their understanding of the auditory environment.

In Naivety in Gaslighting, this dynamic could take the form of dissonant harmonies that gradually resolve—or perhaps never do. The deliberate play with perception, such as incorporating barely audible whispers or field recordings that evoke ambiguity, might echo the disorienting nature of manipulation. Silence, too, can be a powerful tool, suggesting the void left when trust is broken.

Vulnerability as a Creative Force
While gaslighting is inherently destructive, your album’s title suggests a reclamation of naivety, reframing it not as folly but as a pure, unguarded state. Experimental ambient music, with its capacity to convey vast emotional spectrums without words, offers a means to embrace this vulnerability. It invites listeners to inhabit spaces of uncertainty, not as victims but as participants in an intimate, transformative experience.

This thematic approach aligns with the ethos of experimental music, which often defies convention and embraces the unexpected. It’s in the unresolved tensions, the barely-there frequencies, and the delicate interplay of sound and silence that Naivety in Gaslighting can evoke a visceral response, challenging listeners to confront their own naivety and resilience.

Conclusion
Naivety in Gaslighting isn’t just an exploration of manipulation—it’s a meditation on the fragility and beauty of trust. Through the lens of experimental ambient music, it holds up a mirror to our perception, asking us to question what we know, what we feel, and what we believe to be true.

In a world increasingly defined by noise and deception, your album offers a space to pause, reflect, and immerse oneself in the complex interplay of sound and emotion. By capturing the essence of naivety in the context of gaslighting, you create not just a collection of tracks but a profound auditory experience that lingers long after the music fades.
