Less than 1.5 minutes in length and following the simple, familiar rolling structure of modern emo rap, Prewashjosh encapsulates the escapism of ‘Do Not Disturb’ with a dreamy and drained-sounding new single.
Unique in production but familiar in vocal style, except with a certain refreshing clarity to the up-front mixing of the voice, DnD showcases a laid-back recording style that’s naturally in tune with the song’s concept.
The performance has a tiredness about it, reinforcing the isolation request of the lyrics, and the production keeps things moving yet mildly interesting and ambient for a touch of intrigue that will hopefully linger across future releases.
Heavy, distorted bass elevates the energy of the piece for a further hit of appeal, and in the distance we get fragments of that voice echoing out, underlining the late-night, insomniac-style of longing for individuality and the bachelor lifestyle so prominent in the lyrical outpouring.
There’s a freestyle vibe to the whole thing, the contemporary sound of rap and melody intertwined, and all in all Prewashjosh makes his tone and intentions undeniably clear.
