The second single from Ontario-based band Wotts' upcoming EP "COPE" is "He Spoke with Conviction." It's a striking continuation of the psychedelic, slow-motion swirl they've been working on lately. This song doesn't just build on their changing sound; it also adds depth to it by adding emotional fog, shiny textures, and a strange, magnetic sense of unease.
Wotts transports the listener into a realm where clarity remains elusive. The song moves forward with a coolness, its hazy tones and soft edges make a sound space that feels both close and free. The production strikes a balance between sleekness and vulnerability, creating a dreamy atmosphere that never feels distant. Each layer moves with careful thought, smoothness, fluidity, and a quiet seductiveness.
"He spoke with conviction" looks at the weak spots where truth bends, blurs, and finally disappears. The band plays with the tension between what we say and what we believe, which shows how we feel when the lines between truth and lies start to blur. The track doesn't point outward; instead, it folds inward, letting those contradictions simmer. It feels like being stuck between two worlds, neither of which is comfortable but both of which are strangely familiar.
The sound is polished and has a dreamy quality that makes it sound like it came from the past, but the emotional core is still very clear. There is charm here, but also heaviness. The sound possesses both smoothness and darkness. With "he spoke with conviction," Wotts keeps making a space that is clearly theirs, a place where psychedelic gloss meets quiet thinking and where getting lost is part of the fun. Not only does this song set the mood for "COPE," but it also makes you want to see where the band goes next.
