‘Lace Entanglement’ is the latest release of _SHOE, a glitchy and shimmering track that breaks into the scene with unapologetic energy. The song feels expansive, yet at the same time, it feels like the world is closing in on you.
_SHOE is an artist who is known for making music that makes you feel like machines have souls. Every song has a deeply digital quality, yet it manages to capture the anxiety and tension that feels humane. The chaos is controlled, the music flows like an anthem and a warning.
The song has beautiful textures. The layered synths, the beats that hit hard, and vocals that weave into the music so beautifully, make the track almost feel alive and moving. Standing at the intersection of lo-fi ambient and glitch EDM, the song has this rawness that makes you a little uncomfortable, but pulls you into a spiral from which you wouldn’t want to escape, because it sounds that good. The repetitions in the song, which make you feel like you are going in circles, perfectly capture the anxiety and exhaustion we feel when we are stuck in a rut, unable to break out of it.
It is a track you will hit replay on, because hearing it once is not enough. You can listen to ‘Lace Entanglement’ by _SHOE on popular platforms like Spotify, Apple Music, Amazon Music, and YouTube.
