Album Review: Luke Faas Show The Emotional Problem With “Apathy”
Apathy is a strange thing because, technically, it is a side-effect of feeling too much. It is a perceived, protective mechanism that stems for having so much emotions you feel you have to shut down to even survive. Emotions can be deadly because they show that there is a pain worse than physical: heartbreak. Luke Faas’ Apathy reaches for the struggle to stay on or, at least, turn back on sentimentally when pain will return to your heart, as well, as love.
I have featured Faas before for his wavy electronica that drips upon ears like the final drops on a sealed faucet. For however “closed” he claims to be, there are waters of life seeping through his R&B vocals to show that apathy is not working for him. While he may sing to “All Downhill” or shrug “Why Bother”, he shows that these sentiments are the fear and shock from our inner child at not having the maturity to embrace or accept situations that cannot be boiled down to one pot. There are moments in relationships, from social to personal. when communication and connection between partners can feel non-existent. You can see it now in our politics, and I am sure you have even felt it with a friend or love; the inability to reach out to someone and have him or her reach back. Understandably, FAAS would rather go numb than see through this issue, but his voice is too rich to be quiet, despite being a voice that flares by nature more then force. When Faas feels a lyrics he goes higher in his vocal ranges, and as slowly paced, peaking synths rise and fall like a heart monitor, “Apathy” and “Should’ve Seen It” are testaments to Faas reeling mind, He sincerely kicks himself for not seeing “the end” with a partner because he loved their beginning, to which who has not wished they were psychic after a bad-breakup?
