#devsays - “Sometimes what repels us is the very thing we cannot stop pulling closer.”
Repulsive Intimacy is a dark, melodic contradiction built around addiction, attraction, rejection and self-acceptance.
Brooding, throaty female vocals drift into an ethereal, ghostlike chorus while deep bass, organic mallets, subtle strings, psychedelic guitar bends and atmospheric electronics slowly surround the listener.
Dark but pretty.
Intimate but uncomfortable.
Repulsive yet addictive.
TRACK DETAILS

Dark · Hypnotic · Intimate · Slowly Engulfing
2. Repulsive Intimacy - Repulsive
Alternative · Brooding · Upbeat · Propulsive
Genre:
Melodic Electronica × Trip-Hop × Progressive Electronic × Alternative Dance
PRODUCTION NOTES
Electronic synth and drum-machine foundations meet deep bass, mallets, strings, atmospheric textures and delayed psychedelic guitar.
The arrangement develops through gradual layering rather than conventional EDM drops, gently lifting while retaining its gloom.
VOCALS
Smoky female alto/contralto, throaty, brooding and intimate, with breath, ghost doubles and restrained Trip-Hop phrasing. Choruses become softer, wider and ethereal.
STORYLINE
“I am an addict.
I am repulsive.
I am meaningfully propulsive.”
No matter what you see me for,
No matter why you reject me...
I am me.
I am happy to be...
Repulsive Intimacy.
