A Lynchian Transmutation of Trip-Hop Desire –

In PostOmnis’ new single, When I See Your Eyes, featuring Evangile, the electronica project of California-based multi-platform creator Seán Graves rips the spine out of traditional romantic balladry and reconstructs it in the surrealist theatre of Mysticism, his forthcoming full-length album. Rather than settle for familiar loops and trite emotion, this track destabilises. It seduces, then disorients. It speaks in haunted riddles rather than rhythmic comforts.

The track unfolds like a haunted sermon, stitched together with glitch-splintered syncopation and spectral vocal lines which nod toward IAMX’s celestial electronica. Graves and Evangile thread shards of retro synths through a mist of reverberating ambience, then let the composition twitch and hum with experimental leftfield touches. You’ll hear disconcerting laughter where most would place a drum fill, and feel the shadows of ghosted beats long after they’ve faded. This isn’t a love song – it’s a transmission from the warped ether of grief, longing, and abstraction.

As a preview of PostOmnis’ upcoming album Mysticism, When I See Your Eyes hints at a wider conceptual depth. Known for cultivating dark, immersive sonic environments in earlier cult releases like Ghost and Ashes and Kaleidoscope World, Graves builds on that foundation here with more pointed disfigurement of genre and mood. This track invites you into a Lynchian netherworld where desire becomes data and harmony is skewed by spectres.

When I See Your Eyes is now available on all major streaming platforms, including Spotify.
