computer science and the honey drip slow waltz of "Hell"

 

"the devil hasn't won / well, i've become one of them..."

"Hell" by Computer Science, the divergent musical project of North Carolina's Tim Brozowski, is a darkly drawn slow waltz. There is a dichotomy of emotions here, propelled by dour, yet really beautiful melodies and beneath the barbiturate drip tempo there is an underlying sweetness. The sweetness, like honey, is translucent only tinting life and bending light but not opaque enough to feel real for very long. Brozowski says: 

"This song was written in early 2020 and discusses my thoughts on the afterlife, and religious condemnation."

I wonder if some religious zealot did actually condemn him to hell. It is, of course, what some religious folk like to do. It makes them feel so much better about themselves. I am absolutely loving the surprising sounds on this track and the experimental nature. "Hell" holds you in it's grasp for a long time after it ends. It is the first single off of Computer Science's upcoming EP "It Is Me" on Z Tapes records that you can pre-order digitally or on cassette via their Bandcamp pages (see below).
