"THE DOOR" EP
“The Door” EP is a six-part descent into psychedelic purgatory, where abstract guitar textures, hypnotic beats, and surreal spoken fragments conjure a vision of death as a dream; an echo in the void.From the industrial menace of the title track to the cold, cosmic shriek of “Afterword,” "The Door" EP confronts the mysteries of life, death, and consciousness through relentless loops, spectral interludes, and disquieting monologues."The Door" excerpts lines from Sartre’s existentialist play No Exit; “The Body” explains, in a teacher’s manner, a process of death’s renewal; “The Symptom” grapples in poetic dream-speak with the nature of consciousness; and “The Nihilist” assumes a dispassionate voice in a stream-of-consciousness monologue on the meaninglessness of human existence.Taken as a whole, these six pieces lead the listener through a gallery of evocative sound-paintings, at once dark and radiant, lingering on the edge between oblivion and rebirth.
