Let’s just say this: the listening experience was glorious. Wow. ‘Words Are Just Another Way To Hide’ is an unexpected treat, a record that starts slowly, keeping a low profile, then grows in intensity and melancholia as it progresses. We were not ready, perhaps taking it for granted at first. By the time we realised what we were dealing with, it was too late. The track had embraced us with all its majesty, creating a rather dark and nostalgic, almost dramatic outlook.
Courtesy of Bristol-based talent Kid Lazuras, ‘Words Are Just Another Way To Hide’ clocks in at just over three minutes, and yet, we wish it would never end. It is so easy to get lost in it. Don’t take our words for it, give it a listen yourself.
Lazarus’s vocals drive the record forward with charisma and evocative energy, delivering a piece that stands at the intersection of trip-hop, new-wave and electronica. Piano, guitars, mysterious soundscapes: everything plays a part in creating the powerful magic dust that the song leaves behind.
