HEX unveils « Immerse », the second single from their upcoming album on HUMUS (2025)
Driven by an obsessive rhythm and dense, taut sonic layers, Immerse explores the fragile space between hazy erasure and ecstatic clarity. As the second excerpt from their forthcoming album, HEX delivers a hallucinatory incantation — a slow disintegration into a feverish and fertile mirage.
Between tension and suspension, Immerse deepens the journey initiated with Fraction, descending further into the abyss — a haunted environment where every light seems to foretell its own disappearance. Léa Martinez’s voice hovers above the band’s no wave magma, more subterranean than ever, buried deep beneath the ruins of a lost era.
Where Fraction built a dramatic, troubled crescendo and hammered out its visions like a tale of struggles to come, Immerse unfolds in concentric circles, sinking deeper still, like a slow, hallucinatory vertigo. The balance between silence and effervescence, between surrender and terror, grows ever more tenuous — a dream of an endless fall.
True to HEX’s aesthetic, the track blends sonic radicality with creative delicacy, carrying a muted yet persistent intensity. Think narcotic post-punk, lurking somewhere between the eurythmics of Dead Can Dance and the cold pulses of Swans. But with HEX, nothing is ever obvious: their music is a living, trembling substance, riddled with emotional cracks and surges of beauty.
Best listened to with eyes closed — a sensorial journey into the void, with no promise of return.
