A feeling of quiet exhaustion comes from deep thinking, a form of emotional fatigue arising from intense focus and attachment. Bromsen and Reatsch skillfully capture this condition in “Concendrain,” a piece that combines intricate instrumentation with an interesting story.
The song starts by giving us a glimpse of what it’s like to be inside, showing a struggle between wanting to keep and needing to let go. The song’s structure mirrors the feelings it explores, with guitar riffs and electronic sounds mixing, and the rhythm and vocals blending perfectly to create a hypnotic beat.
The two singers do a great job of using their voices to talk about openness and self-reflection. Their delivery captures the subtle moments of doubt, desire, and emotional overload that define our inner worlds. The title, a mix of “concentrate” and “drain,” offers a way to think about the pull and fatigue of focus, the emotional weight of attachment, and the peaceful release of letting go.
“Concendrain” encourages active listening, rewarding those who let the sounds and textures wash over them and slowly revealing the complexity of its structure and the feelings behind it. Bromsen and Reatsch’s work together shows how to be patient, layer things, and create an atmosphere. “Concendrain” is an example of indie pop that not only entertains but also immerses, challenges, and shows what you are really thinking.
