ION, an alternative indie musician, has a formidable presence. He makes a return with his latest single, ‘iamvessel’, taken from his upcoming EP where he talks about insanity and spiritual preservation.
The song is a calming cure, and ION's mellow performance was influenced by Irish folk singer Mary O'Hara's mesmerising vocals. The luscious and seductive sound design of "iamvessel" combines crooning voice delivery with dreamy atmospherics, producing a calming and deep listening experience that highlights the developing artist's natural ability to communicate his imaginative concepts.
“My intention with ‘iamvessel’ was to encapsulate the intoxicating feeling of escapism, portraying the experience of running away to 'our own little sanctuary' as a means of coping with the circumstances of the world that we find ourselves in. My interpretation of this concept paints a picture of hypnotic reality created by the figment of our imagination. Using ambient synthesis combined with lullabying delivery to build this whimsical depiction of the dreamlike state that offers us escape from the real world,” ION comments on the release.
