“Navigate” is the first of six singles Erich Mrak is releasing over the next six months, which will culminate in a new EP. This starting point is a spacious, atmospheric success. Alongside his in-house producer Bento, Mrak crafts a hypnotic sound with mellow vocals, led by buzzing bass, melodic vocal snippet samples, and subdued electronics. Anxiety is a lyrical theme throughout, particularly the kind that arises from “never truly knowing what prompts another individual to make decisions.” “Navigate” is certainly an engaging listen with hypnotic appeal.
