An atmospheric art-pop envelopment unveils across “In Your Eyes,” a newly released single from London-based project Dissocia. Written and produced by Chris Hermon, the track thematically takes inspiration from isolation and dependency arising from “life online.” Enjoyably eerie vocal mixing pairs with a meditative rhythm section and artful synth/guitar interplay for an enthralling melodic drive alongside these poignant, modern reflections.
“In Your Eyes” unfolds with riveting, soundscape-forward momentum. Spacey electronic frequencies emanate initially, casting a chilly intrigue. The ensuing, dreamy vocal presence envelops — featuring a reflective element that resembles a robotic coldness. “All my thoughts and desires, intertwined to conspire,” they let out, consuming with their soaring introspection amidst a hypnotic, jazz-touched rhythm section of pit-pattering percussion and calming bass. Arpeggiated synth tones arrive thereafter, as the “beat of my heart was never my own,” admissions compel. Moody guitar lines incorporate into the sating finale. “In Your Eyes” is an atmospherically chilling success from Dissocia.
