Bastien Pons & Frank Zozky deliver a fog of sound you can't escape in "Black Clouds"

Bastien Pons teams up with Frank Zozky to deliver an experience that is as unnerving and intriguing. Their latest track, "Black Clouds", strips away the comforts of melody, and the song anchors itself around a raw, mantra-like, intense, insistent vocal, demanding attention while offering no narrative, just presence. "Black Clouds" is a bold reminder that art can also be a state of being.

Listeners are submerged in a dense atmosphere of static, broken loops, and low industrial textures. The sound is deliberately unbalanced, as if you're walking through fogged glass or navigating a half-remembered dream. Yet there's an oddly tranquil quality in that tension: claustrophobic, yes, but in a way that forces reflection rather than panic. "Black Clouds" is less a song and more a suspended state, a moment of stillness in which the mind can wander freely through its anxieties and curiosities.

There's a power in the minimalism here. The repeating vocal line becomes a thread through layers of distortion and discomfort, anchoring the listener as the surrounding soundscape pulses and shifts. Every pause and subtle crackle in the industrial haze adds to the immersive experience, fully inviting you to exist within its unsettling embrace. Bastien Pons and Frank Zozky have crafted a track that lingers long after the final note, leaving you suspended in its fog, compelled to return.
