Young, creative, and ready to take on the world, that’s logidhl, an audio engineer and producer from New York, bringing distorted visuals as a fresh aesthetic for his debut single, “when day breaks.” Take a moment to enjoy a synth-loaded jam that’ll have you singing and tapping your feet from start to finish.
Dropping a music video with this kind of style, like VHS degradation, seems to be the new normal these days. Plus, it’s more than just a trend; it’s a bold, budget-smart way to break the mold in a time when producing clips drains budgets.
Why VHS Degradation is the New Cool
Remember those old cassette tapes with the fuzzy lines and color shifts? logidhl is channeling that nostalgic, imperfect charm into a modern context. It’s a bold artistic choice that makes “when day breaks” stand out from the crowd.
By the way, this isn’t a new trick in the field of music video creation. Indeed, popular artists have played with distorted visuals to create iconic looks.
Think of the trippy, sometimes unsettling effects in videos by acts like The Knife, or the intentional glitches seen in some Aphex Twin clips. Even more mainstream artists like Kanye West have embraced broken-screen aesthetics to give their imagery a distinct edge.
All in all, logidhl is definitely in good company, pushing the boundaries of what a music video can be.
Lyrics That Echo Addiction, Heartbreak, and Guilt
The lyrics of “when day breaks” feel like an emotional rollercoaster into someone’s struggle with addiction, heartbreak, and guilt. Moreover, there’s this push and pull between wanting to escape reality and being crushed under the weight of their personal demons.
The repeated “I cry, can’t die” lines really show how trapped they feel, like they’re stuck in this never-ending loop of trying to numb the pain but never actually finding peace. Here, the verses are dark, chaotic, and super vulnerable, like someone crying out for help but also kind of accepting that this is just their life now.
From Behind the Scenes to Center Stage
Even though “when day breaks” marks his official solo debut, which he wrote, self-produced, co-produced, mixed, and mastered himself, logidhl is no newcomer. He first gained attention for his standout behind-the-scenes work on ‘CLOUD19,’ an album by underground artist reptilelegit.
His talent quickly landed him production credits with Jemes on the track “HUMAN NATURE” and the NIMBUS remix. Additionally, he’s contributed engineering and production work to a wide range of other projects.
Today, logidhl is stepping into the spotlight as an independent virtuoso, ready to unleash his distinct sound to the masses.
So if you’re looking for something original, exciting, and loaded with distorted visuals, be sure to watch “when day breaks” on YouTube. I can guarantee you won’t be disappointed. It’s an irresistible blast of Synthpop!
