Rezz Embraces Inner Angst in Goth-Inspired EP, "IT’S NOT A PHASE"

Rezz’s new EP takes us again to the start, earlier than she was producing digital music—an easier time when her inspiration got here from goth tradition.

Her new goth-inspired EP, IT’S NOT A PHASE, spans seven angsty tracks. Rebellious and genre-bending, the undertaking is a testomony to Rezz’s roots, showcasing the influences which have steered her fashion and finally helped her develop into the one-of-a-kind artist we hear at this time.

IT’S NOT A PHASE kicks off with “Signal,” a uncooked and edgy collaboration with Grabbitz that infuses alt-rock power with Rezz’s signature, hypnotic fashion. Experimental, distorted and darkish, the tune leads us into “Haunted Eyes” (with MKLA), the place dreamlike vocals praise moody, melodic guitar riffs.

Joining forces with Shadient and fknsyd, Rezz blends eerie vocals with thick, entrancing bass in “Blue in the Face” earlier than colliding the worlds of punk and digital music with the gritty “Embers” (with Raven Gray).

Elsewhere in the EP, “Blurry Eyes” is a dramatic and placing reduce that includes Johnny Goth. Then comes “Dreamstate,” a high-profile collaboration with Canadian rock band Silverstein and Polyphia guitarist Tim Henson that mixes intense, emo-inspired vocals with menacing sound design.

IT’S NOT A PHASE closes out with a bang by advantage of “Not Enough.” Featuring former Crystal Castles frontwoman Alice Glass, the monitor is a glitched-out stunner dripping in alt-rock grit.

“With this goth EP, I’ve really encapsulated some of my early inspiration musically before I even got into dance music,” Rezz said in a press release. “I grew up listening to bands exclusively, and over time developed an understanding of what it was about those songs that I loved. Lots of use of guitar, eerie melodies and distorted basses – this is a blend between sounds I’m known for while also expanding on my range with using new vocal styles and instruments.”

The EP is a testomony to Rezz’s musical vary and dedication to showcasing the sounds that form her personal life experiences. Produced by means of the lens of her youth, IT’S NOT A PHASE serves a reminder to let our deepest, most visceral inspirations and influences shine by means of.
