Beshken - Social Suicide

Kind of like how alt-J or Moderat did when they first arrived on the scene, Beshken doesn’t sound like anyone else on the planet. With the sheer amount of music we’re inundated with on a daily basis, that alone is a feat in itself. The fact that they sound good while doing it - well that’s just a huge plus. Beshken’s new track “Social Suicide,” which will be featured on their upcoming sophomore LP Pantomime, is a doozy of a song. In fact, after quite a few spins, I’m still trying to wrap my head around the vocal production. The chorus design of reverbed vocal harmonies swirling in, out, and alongside some wide symphonic pads tells an epic story without any actual words spoken. And, the closing feelings of excitement I get listening to this tune are the exact same ones I got when I first heard “Fitzpleasure” a near-decade ago. I can’t wait to listen this track in the context of the entire record when its released on 2/18. In the meantime, check out the wild music video for “Social Suicide” below.
