Dark electronic artist Sine has released, via Emergency Hearts, its five-song EP, Mantis 2 - the second in a trilogy, "Mantis 1, 2 & 3".
Mantis 1 (released in May 2022) and Mantis 2 were produced by Sine founder Rona Rougeheart in collaboration with esteemed audio engineer Charles Godfrey at Scary American Studio in Austin, TX.
Mantis 2 opens with a circus in the distance, swirling backwards into a blasting march that leads into a cutting, electronic bass line. "Virtual Realitease" is the first track on Mantis 2. It sets the theme of the EP as a study of life going from real to virtually real and the pains of adapting to a life forced apart from one another. The EP is a ride into a virtual world of satire and dream-state realities that ends with a melancholic piano and string piece called "Soundtrack Of A Wasted Recovery". The vocals are in a spoken-word style with lyrics that evoke the sadness, loneliness and feelings of inadequacy we often get consumed by. It's a touching track with hopes for change.
Rona Rougeheart on the direction of the Mantis 1 and Mantis 2 EPs: "I like to call the music on the Mantis EPs, "electronic boom". I really love beats, deep bass and subs. I'm rooted in dark electronic dance music and industrial sounds, but as a drummer, I can't deny that I'm more drum and bass oriented with my percussion background being the core foundation of the music I create".
