Akeda

Matisyahu

A heavy, synth-drenched pivot into vulnerability. Gone are the easy anthems, replaced by murky dub textures and raw, self-reflective songwriting.

June 3, 2014 · Akeda Records

A heavy, introspective journey through the wreckage of a former identity.

Moments Worth Listening For
The claustrophobic synth swells on Reservoir that mirror the feeling of being emotionally overwhelmed.
The way the beat on Broken Car feels like it is physically struggling to stay together.
The eight-minute slow burn of Sick for So Long where the dub echoes become a sonic representation of exhaustion.
