Elements Out, Today! WeWriteAboutMusic & RoadieMusic are the First to Review It

Evil Gima’s Elements is Out Today

Elements marks a significant evolution in Evil Gima's sound. This new record was created during an intense weekend of music-making in May 2024. The duo utilized Eurorack synthesizers to craft four tracks that push the boundaries of traditional harmony in an excessive way. By incorporating quarter tones, atypical scale modes not commonly utilized, and disturbing sound design, the album invites listeners to experience a new dimension of sound.

WeWriteAboutMusic Reviews Elements, Quite Favorably

Across its roughly twenty-minute runtime, the EP conjures an emotional spectrum that few lyric-driven projects achieve. One moment, you’re caught in the throes of an anxious pulse like on the opener “Enthalpy” and the next you’re suspended in an ambient void towards the midway point with “Nuclear Charge”. With all the music we consume on a daily basis, it’s become difficult to grasp our attention, but this managed to do it a little too easily.

Elements | Evil Gima releases EP with dark and noisy sound

Elements is an EP that simply gives wings to the imagination. However, not by a disneyresque, colorful and cheerful optic. Here, there is the dense, the tense. The chaos. Here, the shadows whisper and the silence murmurs. Darkness presents itself as the majority setting of all its sonic narratives.

It is precisely before them that the listener has to deal with his own weaknesses. Insecurity, fear, a sense of disprotection. Loneliness as proof of weakness associated with the perception of trust. Even if the tears run out at certain times, the drama Elements offers is fleeting and almost ludibriant. Here is an EP in which acid, synthetic and lo-fi unite in a dark and noisy aesthetic-structural rawness.
