“IS IT POSSIBLE?” with its unorthodox production and vocal processing sounds like MAARA HERZ is slipping in and out of time going forwards and back glitching out of normal space. It begins with a low, swelling drone but almost immediately it sounds like sounds were punched in and manipulated to sound like they’re going in reverse but work as a disorienting element in real time. The vocals too sound manipulated so that the words sound even more strained than the lyrics suggest. The song seems to be about struggling to hold on and function in the “regular” world and not get lost in the endless wash of demands on your time and your psyche in late capitalism. The song’s chopped and edited together sound like a signal sputtering and reassembling itself into some kind of coherence in spite of interference of its original transmission is a perfect embodiment of the song’s message and an eerily accurate cognate of how it can feel deeply trying to get through life with your psyche intact these days. Listen to “IS IT POSSIBLE?” on Spotify. The new MAARA HERTZ album 2201 released March 13, 2026.
