polidelia Turkish musician Darkoffee's shares with us dark feelings.
Sanity Decrased is a lo-fi album with feets. Mainly instrumental, but we get to hear vocals in a couple of tracks. Electric guitar reigns and creates moody atmospheres and yet there is space for enjoyable metal. Parts of the album feel like a jam. A good jam at times, and at times a bad jam. It is not perfect, but at least it is coherent.
Farewell to you starts with what's basically a Wish You Where Here sample. It has original parts but does not level to the sample. Mandalina, on the other hand, is a moving piece with Twin Peaks vibes, unfairly short, which does shine on its own. It is trully beautiful.
The album ends with a reversed version of Mandalina which doesn't make justice to it's shortness.
There are flaws, but the biggest is not the music's fault. It's the fact that the album has demo-quality production. It being lo-fi is not justification, because Sanity Decrased shoots for more. Its music is not meant to be lo-fi, but well produced, to fulfill it's true mood.
2/5
