Mike Paradinas (µ-Ziq) closes 2022 with Hello, his third release of the year and the intense counterpart to the Goodbye EP. Featuring manic breaks and rich melodies, it concludes the Magic Pony Ride era, including another version of that track. Highlights include personal touches like a slowed sample of his son’s scream in ‘Iggy’s Song’ and a tribute to his father’s hometown in ‘Ávila’. Side B shifts moods with tense, experimental tracks reminiscent of Lunatic Harness, blending drum and bass tempos with eerie choral sounds.
