Kieran Simkin Breaks Pattern on 'Dmitri My Talisman'

A heavy psychedelic experience can easily turn a song into vague waffle, but UK artist Kieran Simkin keeps things uncomfortably personal on 'Dmitri My Talisman'. Built around an abrupt shift in perception, the track treats the fallout like an honest journal entry rather than a lecture on metaphysics.

He cut the guitars and vocals himself, then fed the parts into sampler rigs to warp the structure as it moves. The same melodies keep bleeding back in, but every time they return, the timing slips and the edges fray into something cold and disorienting.
