The track is just the third release from the exciting Australia-based artist.
With just three releases to her name, emerging artist Michelle Limanjae has already established herself as someone with a fiercely unique sound and a penchant for the unexpected and experimental. This has never been more prevalent on ‘Sane’, the third and most recent of the artist’s releases and one that reasserts her status as one of the most distinctive and thought-provoking emerging artists in the Australian music scene.
The Indonesia-born, Melbourne-based artist explores themes of mental health and suffering on the new release, anchored around the struggles people can face when they keep their pain to themselves until it makes them crazy. Musically, the track has quite soft sound initially that seems to get sporadically compromised by fuzzy, grungy guitars and unexpected sonic moments, making for a captivating listening experience where you’re never really sure what is going to happen next. Everything from the off-kilter vocal harmonies to the incessant whispering that can be heard at times seems to reaffirm this idea of craziness and loss of sanity, making for a sound that does a great job of skirting the line between feeling melodic and engaging while also inserting its wider message into the sound.
