“Sacrifice” shows a dark synth-pop sound with a nocturnal soundscape and gripping vocals. The track, from Boston-based trio IEVA, sounds like something that would play at Twin Peaks‘ Roadhouse. Effervescent synth drops kick things off, with a whirring synth arp and driving snare complementing the entrancing vocal presence that soon follows. 00:48 sees the unveiling of a heavenly synth pad, aligning with a haunting melodic shift. From here, “Sacrifice” builds with a mysteriously gripping beauty. Infusing aspects of dream-pop, darkwave, and elctro-pop, “Sacrifice” is a gem from IEVA.
