“gen” by iuky Has a Hazy, Drift-y Melody That is Both Intimate and Otherworldly

Madrid-base iuky has in “gen” written a song that is couched in sort of bedroom post-chillwave electronic pop. But in many ways its organic quality and dream-like shrouds of hazy tones is reminiscent of both Animal Collective and Pygmalion-period Slowdive. That its about the feeling of being in a dream from which one cannot awake is telling because it has the tone of being trapped inside one’s head and cast adrift on emotions and memory. The falsetto vocals swim slowly through the fog of slowly arcing synth drones giving the song an intimate yet alien quality that is itself hard to shake like a dream that won’t let go when it’s time to get on with your day. Iuky has an EP due out later this year and for now you can watch the surreal video for “gen” below and keep track of iuky’s musical adventures at the links provided.
