Melbourne’s Rich Delinquent and phem just dropped “Healing Factor,” a track that feels like the soundtrack to a 3 a.m. drive through rain-slicked city streets.
It’s got that moody, Chase Atlantic-esque emo vibe down pat. The production is all glitched-out shadows, where a bassline that means business gets tangled up with these feverish, anxious synths.
The magic is in the vocal dynamics. Rich Delinquent lays down a foundation of raw, grounded despair, you can hear the strain in his steady delivery.
Then phem just floats in, her voice a shot of sensual vulnerability that cuts right through the gloom, orbiting the same painful memory.
Lyrically, they’re stuck in that purgatory between wanting to numb the pain and actually dealing with it.
“Healing Factor” might not be breaking entirely new ground, but it absolutely owns its corner of it.
This is moody alt-pop that gets under your skin, proving Rich Delinquent’s sound is evolving into something dangerously addictive.
