Seattle-based alt-rock artist Prismia, led by the multifaceted talent of songwriter, producer, drummer, and lead vocalist Anna Mariko Seymour, delivers a hard-hitting sonic experience with their latest single, “Don’t Look!”
In this electrifying track, Prismia invites listeners into a world of uncomfortable vulnerability, exploring the pressures of maintaining appearances amidst life’s challenges. “Don’t Look!” delves into the societal expectations of projecting a flawless image while navigating personal turmoil, echoing the internal struggle to avoid appearing ‘messy’ in a world of curated perfection.
Backed by a powerhouse arrangement of distorted guitar lines, driving drum beats, and piercing synths, Prismia’s impassioned vocal performance takes centre stage, driving home the message with raw emotion and unfiltered energy. The music mirrors the thematic intensity of the track, with a punchy chorus punctuated by Prismia’s punk-infused exclamations of “Don’t Look!” and crescendoing verses that build in intensity, reflecting the frustration and angst of the narrative.
