Few artists possess the transportive musical mastery found in thook‘s work. Forget typical bangers, thook is crafting highly detailed moving scenes with each release. His newest work DAWN doubles down on this approach forgoing big stage bops for cinematic slappers sprinkled with his signature dust.
‘HOW MANY PPL LISTEN’ is a slow-burning, tension-building introduction that sets the stage for the project. It’s ominous and evocative before bringing in the bump with icy foreign strings. ‘BRONZE_GARDEN’ fuses a classic trap aesthetic with a worldly leaning soundscape. ‘RUDE,’ ‘Diamond Kid’ & ‘Smokescreen [security]’ build upon this sound offering no shortage of knock or sense of adventure. On ‘Days Lost’ thook opts for a somber and mellowed approach. The emotion is ripe and engulfing, conjuring deep feelings of melancholy and loss. Bringing us to the conclusion comes the fitting ‘THROUGH THE MASK.’ The exotic instrumentation and expert percussion exhibit a jungle-inspired energy that’s dripping with lush flora, tempting beauty, and dangerous fauna.
With most tracks clocking in under the two-minute mark DAWN is a short but unforgettable journey through thook’s incredible musical mind. Creative, original, and engrossing, thook is truly one of a kind. Stream the project below or on your favourite platform.
