Single Review: Beneath the Visible Surface

The tune has a slow undulating tempo and a soothing vocal melody that tracks at the same speed; each syllable coinciding with a downstroke of the guitar, and vocal volume peaking in time with the heavy strum of the guitar sequence. The thick pulsating cadence of the track with the additional synth comes across as a musical recreation of a heartbeat, confident and relaxed.

A smooth flow with gentle crescendos into the chorus, Isaac Hickey displays great balance in both restraint and artistic flair, with tom-focused verses and bringing snare into the choruses, he creates variety in their sound alongside the synths to contrast the otherwise repetitive chime of the guitar.

Heavy with effects, Beneath the Visible Surface is a tranquil piece that still exhibits a youthful exuberance, with chilling vocal harmonies, displaying the variability and dynamics of their songwriting capabilities.
