Empathetic Apathy

evilhippo Dreamy and mournful, where Witch House & Dream Pop intersect. You know those albums you bought over the years that only really had one great track? This is *not* one of those, so it was really hard to pick a single favourite. Favorite track: Diffidence.

D. Paull This album solidified that dream pop can be deliciously dark. The crystalline vocal and slower tempo transport me to a good place. Amazing Favorite track: Attachment Theory.

Gossen Rijkeboer Such a great and kind artist duo. Love Em's online 'sharing and caring' attitude. And now Plike comes with this beautiful EP. A true indie artist duo. Thank you Plike! Favorite track: Lessons in Futility.

Digibilly A meditation in sonic stimuli, this album is a journey through an ominous soundscape of cinematic composure and beats. It will send you to a dark happy place. A must listen!

about

Plike's second EP, Empathetic Apathy, incorporates a variety of musical styles, including trap, witch house, and trip hop, as well as elements from genres such as dubstep and drum & bass. Em's signature childlike toy pianos, cinematic strings and ethereal vocal sampling join together with ASH's expert synthesis engineering and sequencing to form a strangely hypnotic dance of light and shadow. While Empathetic Apathy is not a conceptual album in the same vein as 47th Helen, it paints a vivid picture of many of the struggles we face living in modern day society, touching on topics such as female inequality and America's deeply embedded fear of nuclear war.
