Smooth and soulful creativity, an artistic ensemble united in their subtlety and substance. Cathartika lead with slick riffs and boldly confronting humanity, for singles like the rather sublime, heartbroken and searching desperation of Happiness.
Taking us back to the soul-rock escapism of a simpler era, intimacy introduces happiness, with lyrics that pierce through the noise of the modern scene for their relatable lostness and poignancy.
The guitar sound is lush, the vocals genuine, gentle but impassioned along the way. This feels like a modern take on the style of Pink Floyd in parts, atmospheric and melodic, conceptually unforgiving. It’s a powerful, deeply moving single, in short – from a growing repertoire that’s divinely artistic.
Duane Cook founded Cathartika as a means of uniting imaginative ideas and performative arts. Happiness is a fine introduction to, and highlight from, the depth of topic and musical impact of the act’s sound.
