Isahi - Nisahilism (2016) EN


Nihilism - a belief that there is no reason for existence, a state that is perfect to scream it out to the world. Which is what Isahi - a one person project from South Korea, exactly does. "The rift between my world and this world completes my Nihilism, and this album is the stories of that" he writes. And since it's Isahi's nihilism it could only be called nisahilism.

The album begins with sounds of quite classical strings that made me think of Asian violinists' music enriched with some electronic. And this feeling goes through the whole album and, although they are sometimes only a background for some heavier sounds, they definitely give a unique flavour to the whole thing. And so the album flows - nice drifting strings and dreamy keys and an unsettling noise in the background. Which already in "The Plague" turns into roaring guitars and everything transforms from a dream into a real nightmare. The whole Isahi's nihilism is a mixture of dreaming and being lost in nightmares.

And I proclaim "Eating Bodies Together" the most romantic song title of 2016.

"Nisahilism" is to get for free.
