Z'ev - As If When
Review by David Sasaki
As If When by Z'ev is a mesmerizing album that showcases the artist's unique approach to experimental music. The album features a variety of percussive sounds, ranging from metallic clanks to deep thuds, all of which are expertly arranged to create a haunting and immersive sonic landscape.
Z'ev's use of repetition and layering creates a sense of hypnotic momentum that draws the listener in and holds their attention throughout the album's duration. The tracks are both meditative and intense, with moments of calm punctuated by bursts of frenetic energy.
