"It's moody yet melodic title track ." - Self-Titled
LISTEN & SHARE: Visuals - "Everything Flash"
"Jumping in with reversed soundscapes and a slow, spacious, and pounding beat, Visuals' distinct and savory vocal work flies around amongst the melancholy melodies in a weightless fashion." - XLR8R
LISTEN & SHARE: Visuals - "Days of Our Youth"
"The foundation of the track is a nocturnal, electronic composition, cut through with raw post-punk guitar mixed down to an almost hush. The effect is something like standing in the middle oftwo night clubs at once, but the coming together produces something harmonious."- Bullett
LISTEN & SHARE: Visuals - "Waking Dream: Spies"
"Unpausing a sleep state in record digging." - IMPOSE
LISTEN & SHARE: Visuals -The State of Things
"The third track “No Handle” is a personal favorite due to it’s lethargic, atmospheric instrumental which I suspect was somewhat influenced by associate and collaborator Nic Jaar." - EARMILK TOUR DATES

THE STATE OF THINGS - TRACKLISTING
01. "The State of Things"
02. "Days of Our Youth"
03. "No Handle"
04. "Everything Flash" (Bonus Track)
Visuals will debut on thesongsays with his beautifully well-rounded novella of an EP, The State Of Things.The label has long focused on the romantic and conceptual currents of dance music and Visuals joins the tight-knit roster with three stunning songs that perfectly fit the thesongsays ethos while bringing together the diverse elements of his musical background. The Brooklyn-based singer, songwriter and multi-instrumentalist - whose work debuted on Nicolas Jaar’s Other People imprint - excels not only through his distinctive vocal style and melodic richness, but also through the acute subtlety of his lyrical content.The record’s A-side is a case in point: pure tropical melancholia that finds Visuals lyrically sifting through the modern contradictions of everyday life over lambent pads and off-kilter percussion: “I couldn’t tell hell from paradise / I’m so caught up in the state of things.” While the vocals recall the realm of indie, the quirky textures and post-production (courtesy of DARKSIDE member Dave Harrington and Berlin-based house producer and drummer Louis McGuire ) gesture toward the electronic.On the flip, the buoyant bass line of "Days Of Our Youth" anticipates an infectious chorus that feels perfectly anthemic for spring and summer: "Days of our youth on fire / Burning in your eyes." It’s an expertly crafted and arranged piece of music that lends itself to adventurous DJs wanting to give the room something counterintuitive and unusual. Completing the release is "No Handle"—pensive, deep, and hypnotic for the noir corners of early morning dance floors.
