ORA COGAN BURY ME
Ora Cogan shares 'Bury Me', her latest hymn to the spectral realm. 'Bury Me' is the opening track of Cogan's forthcoming EP of the same title, which she describes as "an ode to the spirit world". Through this work, she utilises fantasy to transmute pain into beauty and deepen her understanding of her experiences. The song is steeped in the haunting, folk-inspired allure which defines her work. Cogan's wraith-like vocals echo within the spaces between wavering guitar plucks and dampened, methodical snare hits. With a heart open to the otherworldly, 'Bury Me' feels just out of reach - a hushed secret shrouded in a reverberated mist, emerging from the ether to channel loss, longing, and the weight of the unseen. The track's hypnotic pull, shaped by gothic, rural ambience, serves as an immersive incantation that drifts through an enchanting veil of mournful instrumental textures. It's an intimate, entrancing opener which attests to Cogan's ability to serve as a medium, weaving the mystical and the mundane into a profoundly ethereal experience. Bury Me is due this Friday, April 4th via Prism Tongue Records. -Kayla Sandiford
