Hailing from Brooklyn, New York, Blackedout (often stylized as Blvckedout) has just dropped a stunning single from his forthcoming EP. Titled “Vessel”, the track guides the listener through a dark, emotional journey consisting of high-pitched vocal splices and dark, progressive synths. The vocals send this track to an entirely new level, heightening the background bass and emphasizing the beauty in high-pitched harmony. High-pitched vocal splices often come across as hackneyed but Blackedout utilizes them to their utmost potential.
The track succeeds in simultaneously uniting a dark, mystifying melody with haunting yet hopeful vocals. If this track indicates the quality of his forthcoming EP, then 2014 will be a huge year for Blackedout.
