From the onset, “Lost My Way” is not trying to find or be found. While anxious, the song maintains a meandering pace, as if accepting its fate, the mist, this labyrinthine circumstance. A voice navigates throughout, quite sublimely, almost to a point of orientation but then in the final third, latches onto the lead of a late piano. There’s a sense this could go on forever; perhaps behind the next tree is a harp, and so on, into the abyss… an alluring loop. Fortunately, its creator—Tokyo-born, Berlin-based artist Cuushe—does have the last say here, knowing just when to wipe the ground out from below us.
Butterfly Case is out September 23rd on Flau.
