Endings

Released in April 2020, Endings represents a pivot for 65daysofstatic toward a more textural and algorithmic approach to their signature 'glitch-rock' sound. Coming off the heels of their massive No Man's Sky soundtrack and the generative music project 'A Year of Wreckage', this EP distills their experimental impulses into four cohesive, atmospheric pieces. The tracks are characterized by a heavy reliance on IDM-inspired rhythmic programming and a darker, more somber melodic palette than their early math-rock-leaning work. Critical reception noted the EP's timely release during the early global lockdowns, as its themes of isolation and digital fragmentation resonated with the cultural zeitgeist. It stands as a testament to the band's ability to evolve beyond the tropes of post-rock, utilizing noise and error as primary emotional tools rather than just aesthetic flourishes.
