Birdmasks’ leader Manuel Gagneux is a master of creating unsettling, yet mesmerizing soundscapes. With the release of “Go Idah,” the latest track from his forthcoming Isolde EP, Gagneux pushes deeper into the abyss, exploring the tension and unease that come with confronting one’s inner demons.

“Go Idah,” a warped take on the phrase “Good Idea,” is anything but comforting. It’s a track that simmers with anxiety, propelled by jarring, propulsive drums that leave you feeling off-kilter from the first beat. “Go Idah” shuts the door on hope, pulling the listener into a deeper, more unsettling psychological space.
