The Kiss That Took A Trip returns with Horror Vacui, an art-rock EP that feels like a doorway into a moody, cinematic universe. From the first seconds, the project throws genre expectations out the window and invites listeners into a narrative tinted with shifting hues—like watching a rock-infused kaleidoscope slowly turn in dim light.
There’s a quiet boldness in the way the EP unfolds. It lingers, stretches, and breathes, nudging us back toward a time when music rewarded patience. Melancholy hangs over the tracks, but it’s the kind of melancholy that feels strangely healing, the type that wraps you up while pushing you toward some hidden, emotional threshold.
Each passage feels deliberate: wide-open soundscapes one moment, feverish instrumental surges the next. It’s an experience that dares you to confront whatever shadows you’ve been avoiding, only to then dissolve them with cathartic solos and eerie, expansive textures.
Horror Vacui is restorative, and beautifully dissonant, guiding you through your fears rather than letting them chase you. Press play:
