Id Escaped

VINYL FORMAT. Comes with a digital download card! With his newest EP, Chicago folktronica artist Brice Woodall has transcribed a journal of psychic detachment, of running from oneself through haunted subconscious spaces. Id Escaped crafts narratives of paranoia and isolation in a world where one is always being watched. But amid the dystopia arise moments of relief in companionship and the hope of escape. Every move of the record is suspended by Woodall's unwaveringly sincere falsetto, carrying lyrics that pulse from the delicate enigma of a fully imagined world. Drum machines skitter against full-blooded rock orchestration as they coil together into tight, infectious progressions. Id Escaped belies a variety of influences, from the Flaming Lips to Radiohead to underground trance, in its distinctive brand of muscular, synth-tipped indie pop
