Review by Ricard Hammarström

Artifacts, the collaborative album by JayKode and Blanke, is a masterful blend of heavy bass, intricate melodies, and ethereal vocals. From start to finish, the album takes the listener on a journey through a dystopian soundscape, where glitchy beats and haunting synths collide with emotive lyrics and soaring choruses.

The album opens with "Artifacts Intro," a cinematic instrumental track that sets the tone for what's to come. From there, the album moves into "Shadow," a brooding track that showcases JayKode and Blanke's ability to create a sense of tension and release with their production.

Tracks like "Duality" and "Drop It" bring the energy up with their pounding basslines and infectious hooks, while "Artifacts Interlude" and "Lethal" offer moments of introspection and reflection.

One of the standout tracks on the album is "Voices," a collaboration with vocalist Dia Frampton that features soaring vocals and a soaring chorus that will stay with you long after the song is over.
