A gorgeously evolving track that spans from dreamy introspection to ardent alt-rock exultation, “It Was Nice To Have Met You” is a newly released track from Dejima, representing the first single from the upcoming EP Swollen. The project is fronted by 20-year-old Kaveh Hodjat, who wrote, recorded, and produced everything heard within (in addition to mixing from Adam Thein and mastering from Jack Kennedy).
A hypnotic meshing of fluttering acoustics and twangy guitar chirps traverse blissfully into the soaring vocal presence. “It was nice,” the vocals let out, lyrically capturing a fateful meeting and ensuing sense of being smitten. A blast of blistering guitar distortion enters the final minute with enjoyable vigor, concluding the effort with a textured, hard-rocking allure. A dynamic structural evolution and serene initial spellbinding impress on this standout success from Dejima.
