Depresent

Noni-Mouse marks her arrival to the boxout.fm recordings catalogue with 'Depresent'. As a relentless four on the floor beat and speculative synths keep the song propelling forward, Noni-Mouse employs one of her most characteristic methods: to stretch, sample and abstract the human voice so it transforms into a programmable instrument in and of itself. Myriad variations of her own vocal hooks all fall together in perfect harmony and arrangement like tetris blocks. And just like tetris, 'Depresent' feels methodical and devastating in its execution, as one single, resounding lyric, "Heartbroken from the pressure" is enveloped in a rubbery bassline and dizzying percussive details.

At its core, 'Depresent' is one hell of a dance tune, but it's also a moment of reflection, of introspection, and of acceptance. To know that while the pressure mounts, there can be space for liberation and letting go. Inspired by a recent heartbreak, the song is less of a pity party and more of a celebratory (and slightly melancholic) number to embody the spirit of things ahead. 'Depresent' finds its home on anxious, manic dancefloors and solitary headphone parties alike.
