Edward Heppenstall's latest album, Parts That Hate Me, is a haunting and introspective journey through the complexities of the human psyche. With a mix of ambient, electronic, and experimental sounds, Heppenstall creates a deeply immersive sonic landscape that draws the listener in and refuses to let go.
From the opening track, "Dissociation," Heppenstall sets the tone for the album with a brooding, atmospheric sound that feels both ominous and alluring. The album's title track, "Parts That Hate Me," is a standout, with its glitchy beats and distorted vocals creating a sense of unease and disorientation.
Throughout the album, Heppenstall's lyrics explore themes of mental health, identity, and self-discovery, with a raw honesty that is both refreshing and affecting. In "Anxiety," he sings, "I can feel it in my bones / The fear that never leaves me alone," capturing the all-consuming nature of anxiety in a way that is both relatable and poignant.
