The instrumental drives ever forward as feedback squeals and the saturated tones of guitars and bass mutate into a wonderfully grotesque sonic abomination. All the while, frontman Oliver Ackerman delivers deadpan, near-chanted lyrics about systemic cruelty. It\u2019s a full-on sonic attack. \u2014 <em>Jonah Krueger<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Related Video<\/p>\n<p><strong>face of ancient gallery \u2014 \u201cLike Kites\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n<div class=\"jeg_video_container jeg_video_content\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Like Kites\" width=\"500\" height=\"375\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/qQyhgtr6QvY?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/div>\n<p>As part of bloodsports, Jeremy Mock helps craft grungy, towering shoegaze. Under his face of ancient gallery moniker, though, Mock showcases his softer songwriting sensibilities, sounding more like Nick Drake or Haley Heynderickx than Slowdive or Nothing. On \u201cLike Kites,\u201d the title track from the project\u2019s newly announced album, gentle acoustic guitar and hushed vocals take center stage before the instrumental palette expands as the tune sways along. It\u2019s a beautiful little ditty and proof that walls of distortion and unplugged performances have more in common than one might expect. \u2014 <em>J.

The chorus is absolutely massive, with vocalist Emma Jansson belting at the peak of her range and the band playing passionately and loudly. Throughout, Jansson takes aim at music business losers that, despite dedicating their careers to it, don\u2019t seem to really like music all that much. \u201cYou bleed me dry and leave me with crumbs,\u201d she sings with a sting.

What starts as a stripped-back acoustic performance soon blossoms into a playful landscape of music box chimes and percussion, before it all once again drops away, leaving Mendez alone.

By diving into similar sonic territory as the underrated R&amp;B duo, Vezzo is cloaking himself in the evocativeness of the genre.
