Israeli pair Dandy and Ramraz are back with their most emotionally charged single, "Couldn't Make A Sound." It's a blend of 2-step garage, bedroom pop, and sound system flourishes. The song has a quiet intensity that aches, surrounded by delicate textures and pulsing rhythms, but its impact lingers like an unshakable echo.
"Couldn't Make A Sound" explores a period of profound emotional wreckage following an assault that Dandy survived. The song's title isn't only poetic but painfully literal. It came out of a harrowing experience, a violation that Dandy had kept within her for years as she didn't discuss it then, as if keeping quiet would make it disappear.
That silence becomes a hypnotic, profoundly emotive soundscape. The vocals drift over percussion, and mystical melodies draw listeners into the real estate where pain and perseverance meet. The heaviness of trauma mixes with the buoyancy of release, as if making the song itself was a means of reclaiming a voice.
