Musa takes a tangle of future-bass, dubstep, and indie-electronic—’rest’—to Halycon

The title of Musa‘s latest production “rest” can be read as his advice to self amid a self-professed “messy breakup,” the emotional intensity of which translates to the Halcyon-distributed record in an effervescent fashion. Gracing the tracklist of the label’s Sounds Vol. 2 compilation, “rest” is a bold tangle of future-bass, dubstep, and indie-electronic that Musa calls the “complete manifestation of [his] inner voice and style of production.” Its inventive sound design is enough to beckon streamers back to the “play” button past their initial run-through of “rest,” and though Musa “only had a few words to say” on the single, it’s evident that it speaks for itself as an ear-catching example of the self-taught musician’s novel ear, as well as his penchant for playing with sounds in a way that is sometimes abstract and always original.

“’I only had a few words to say on this song lyrically, specifically because at the time of creating it I had pent-up frustrations from a messy breakup. In a flurry of emotions with no specific direction, I put all my energy into the intense musical drops of the song, while simply repeating to myself, ‘it’s all because of you,’” Musa reflected.

“rest,” available to stream in full below, is Musa’s seventh output of 2021, directly succeeding September’s “Le Pourquoi?“
