‘I’m fine’ – Treasure BoXX

‘I’m fine’ bridges the gap between electronic grooves and alternative rock, a track with a powerful beat that remains subtly fragile at the same time; the production drives forward while the words take a different direction, creating a tension that doesn’t quickly subside.

With “We’re Not Suburban”, Melbourne‑based Velatine takes a confident step toward a darker pop aesthetic, and under the direction of producer Loki Lockwood a soundscape unfolds that oscillates between darkwave, gothic, post‑punk and industrial while, surprisingly, feeling fresh; Lockwood’s production, marked by precision and technical detail, is nonetheless threaded with an ease and fluidity in…
