Sound Depression Unveils “Domingo Chemist,” a Descent into Emotional Catharsis
Sound Depression has released “Domingo Chemist,” the latest single from their forthcoming album, dogs do not understand the Internet, slated for release this fall. The track explores the complexities of emotional turmoil, transforming the traditional concept of Sunday rest into a space for introspection and, at times, self-destructive tendencies.
“Domingo Chemist” marks a sonic evolution for Sound Depression, moving beyond the stark textures of their earlier work toward a more atmospheric and expansive sound. The song’s chorus – ”Domingo Chemist, I’m going to drop” – serves as its central theme, layering references to both substance use and the emotional lows that can follow attempts at artificial regulation. This isn’t a song offering solutions, but rather a recognition of vulnerability and a shared experience of collapse.
The track builds on a post-punk rhythmic foundation, enhanced by dynamic percussion that balances urgency with spaciousness. Synthesizers play a crucial role, creating a hypnotic soundscape that blends the density of darkwave with the luminosity of future-pop.Electronic arrangements, overseen by Marcos Crespo and Fedo Rodríguez, draw inspiration from producers like Chris Coady (Beach House, Yeah Yeah Yeahs), with mastering by Greg Obis, resulting in a sound reminiscent of early 2000s dream-pop.
Sound Depression intentionally leaves the listener suspended in a state of emotional unraveling, suggesting that such downturns don’t require judgment, but rather acknowledgement. “Domingo Chemist” positions itself as a hymn to vulnerability, transforming personal collapse into a relatable landscape for listeners. Dogs do not understand the Internet promises to further explore this refined sonic territory when it arrives this fall.
