Creating an unsettling and disturbing sense of disjointed fracture the Prelude on Nahja Mora’s new EP Inside Out, hints presciently at things to come. “Inside Out”, the title track of the EP, has a static endowed, rhythmic industrial sound with interference and disembodied, distorted voices and sound bytes from forensic psychologist Dr Park Dietz, haunting the dystopic soundscape. Beginning with the calming but misleading sounds of rain interspersed with an intermittent beep as well as a taunting and mimicking jazzy sound “Final Hours” is abruptly interrupted by distressing, disconcerting media samples. “Message Sent” propels the listener into a deep space void with an ascending, intrusive slow pulsing beat that creates a liminal feel to the track. Frantic and with a with a jarring cacophony of sound, “Hate the Police” is punctuated by frightening and pleading vocals. “American Anthem” samples repetitive sounds of screaming with a frenetic and vibrating undertow and unsettling, reverberating vocals.
Josef Saint and Nahja Mora’s EP Inside Out is a rambunctious and powerful denunciation of the media and inadequate leadership and the violence, homelessness, crime and despair they help to incite. The EP is a compelling reverie of some of the biggest challenges faced by humankind and the role that the media and disengaged and self-motivated leadership plays in evoking and enabling such miseries.
