Released last month by Afraid, “Pink Life” sounds like The Weeknd channeled through an Ouija board.
Impressively, the entire EP was recorded live on a single-track cassette using a Panasonic RR-830 cassette transcriber – ancient technology in a world where anybody can become a self-made musician with a microphone and a laptop. The album’s eerie vibe is completed with long, creeping guitar solos, muffled vocals and samples repeated over and over until they become hypnotic.
With its opening and closing tracks running near 9 minutes each, this EP is a long listen, so sit down, put it on and let “Pink Life” soundtrack one of your trippiest nights.
