Hydrah's New EP 'Nostos' Takes Us on an Epic Journey Home

Hydrah – Nostos EP

It’s not very ten that new music comes alongside that renders us utterly speechless. But that's precisely what occurred with Hydrah’s new EP Nostos. A contemporary-day Greek epic, Nostos is all about coming house, a journey that modifications you. In creating this EP, Hydrah had her personal homecoming – a return to her hometown Minneapolis, MN.

Like her earlier works, these songs artfully mix natural sounds with classical music and digital beats. They preserve with the theme homecoming by drawing from the realm round her.

In ‘Return’ there are the sounds birds chirping. These are samples from Minneapolis’s Boom Island Park. The birdsong will get your curiosity piqued, then the melancholic strings draw you in utterly. By the time the beat begins, there’s no escape. You are utterly immersed on this tune; your individual life-changing journey.

This continues on with ‘Complete’ which was composed on the shores Lake Superior. This tune, not like the primary, begins with synthetic digital noises which flows right into a piano. It is livelier than the primary, however with comparable melancholy undertones. As if, our homecoming has had an sudden flip. The drum feels regular like our heartbeat.

As it fades into ‘Share Your Love’, it doesn’t but really feel like our journey is over. This final observe feels stressed like we’re trying to find one thing. The latter half this tune has a fairly drastic tonal shift than the remainder the EP. It’s virtually like the start a model new journey with how totally different it feels. The ending doesn’t fairly really feel resolved and it’s unclear simply the place we’re left on this journey.

One factor is for sure, is that these three songs aren’t sufficient. We’re completely left wanting extra.
