The heaviest track from Beatrix‘s upcoming album Vertigo, “Paranoid” grips with a moody sound propelled by haunting vocal introspection and piano-driven atmospherics. The “freaking out,” vocal escalation sends chills as the rhythms intensify, culminating in the ghostly multi-vocal “locking the door,” sequence.
The momentum continues from there; the “nobody’s there,” vocal and accompanying guitars remind fondly of Radiohead. The title-touting sequence proves deliciously unsettling thereafter, as psych-friendly guitar tones intertwine with the clamoring piano adornments. “Paranoid” has us hotly anticipating Beatrix’s forthcoming album Vertigo.
