“Floods”, the standout track fro Finnish artist Conchis, hit me like a wake-up call, a sonic reflection of the environmental chaos that seems to grow more dire by the day. As someone increasingly tuned into the urgency of climate change, I couldn’t help but feel the track’s relentless energy as both a warning and a plea. Its jagged rhythms evoke the unpredictability of natural disasters, while its chant-like motifs carry an almost ritualistic weight, as though mourning the damage we’ve wrought on the planet. What struck me most is the track’s duality. There’s a strange beauty in its discordance, as if Conchis is mirroring the fragility of nature and the madness of humanity’s impact on it. The haunting refrain, “Let it all drown,” feels like a dare. To let go of complacency, to face uncomfortable truths, or perhaps, tragically, to acknowledge the consequences of inaction. It’s powerful, uncomfortable, and impossible to ignore. Conchis’ unique approach to electronic music, weaving medieval-sounding chants with experimental beats, defies categorization. I see her as something entirely singular, a creator unafraid to confront the messy interplay between humanity and its environment. Listening to “Floods,” I was reminded of the role music can play in raising awareness. It’s a stark, resonant commentary on our precarious place in the world. For that alone, Conchis deserves attention.
