“Pressure Valve” is a hypnotic rocker from Dorvin Borman, enjoyably integrating sounds of synth-tinged dream-pop and psychedelia. A hazy synth and bouncy bass line are joined by lush vocals, immersing quickly. Approaching the two-minute mark, synths take a slight reprieve in favor of energetic guitar pulses and vibrant vocals, assuming a more psych-rock feeling instead of the preceding murkiness. The change of pace maintains a consuming captivation, seamlessly shifting back into the synth-laden atmosphere thereafter. “Pressure Valve” is another success from Dorvin Borman, impressing in the past with the track “Wrath.”
Dorvin Borman describes the track further below:
“In “Pressure Valve”, the narrator imagines an ideal life in which he can achieve balance and contentment by the simple twist of a pressure valve, one which seals off all of the chaotic mental exhaust which keep him from leading a normal, satisfied life. Simply achieving normalcy–this would be bliss.”
