The opener, “Lucid Dream,” kicks things off with a guitar riff that immediately recalls the intensity of ‘80s gothic rock.
The guitar tone is rich and raw, with a slightly acidic fuzz that brings to mind elements of white noise. Over this gritty foundation, the vocals layer on a refined and intense melody, carrying a British-style harmonic sensibility that’s elegant and haunting.
The title track, “Dark Passenger,” is a definite standout. Mysterious and intriguing, it’s filled with a dystopian, almost futuristic ambiance.
The song’s structure is epic, and listening with headphones reveals a meticulous array of sonic details that pull the listener even deeper into its world. Rhythmic shifts punctuate the piece, adding brilliance and tension to its shadowed atmosphere.
On “Hand In Fan,” the band picks up the tempo, channeling bands like Christian Death with driving rhythms and unrelenting energy.
The track brings a faster pulse to the EP, exploring new dimensions in the band’s gothic arsenal without sacrificing any of their signature intensity.
The closing track, “Desire Paths,” wraps up the EP with a haunting, almost ethereal quality, taking the listener into a dimension that lies between light and darkness.
The vocals here echo with an oracular quality, like a voice from another realm. With Dark Passengers, King In Yellow delivers a powerful, emotionally resonant journey through a world that is as haunting as it is unforgettable.
