Sometimes the place we should feel the most comfort can be the place that brings the most sadness, as a safe space turns into a hollow shell that isn’t what it once was. And it’s this feeling that has been captured in the newest release from Crux.
Their new single, ‘Empty Home’, is an in-depth dive into the experience of lockdown as they explore the isolation and loneliness that so many listeners can empathise with.
The building cacophony feels like that uprising of emotion that so many felt as the home they knew so well suddenly grew to be overwhelming and somewhat claustrophobic. Day by day, the haven they had created and once sought solace in was falling around them and became nothing more than a prison you longed to escape.
The melancholic lyrics and uncomplicated melodies and rhythms emphasise the despair and loss felt by so many at a time that seemed to strip the world of everything we knew.
You can listen to ‘Empty Home’ now on all major streaming platforms.
