HIDE - A Falling Sea Of Time

Review by Naguib Toihiri

HIDE's album A Falling Sea of Time is a mesmerizing journey through the depths of electronic and experimental music. The duo, consisting of Heather Gabel and Seth Sher, have created an album that is both hauntingly beautiful and deeply unsettling.

The album opens with "Chainsaw," a track that sets the tone for the rest of the album with its industrial beats and Gabel's haunting vocals. The album ebbs and flows between moments of intense noise and moments of eerie calm, with tracks like "Raw Dream" and "Pain Killer" showcasing HIDE's ability to create stunningly beautiful soundscapes.

Throughout the album, HIDE explores themes of isolation, loss, and the passage of time. The lyrics are often cryptic, leaving the listener to interpret their meaning. But even without a clear narrative, the album is able to convey a sense of emotional depth and complexity.

Summary by Naguib Toihiri

A Falling Sea of Time is a bold and uncompromising album that demands attention. It's not an easy listen, but for those willing to dive into its murky waters, it's a rewarding and unforgettable experience. HIDE has created something truly special here, and it's an album that will stay with listeners long after the final notes have faded away.
