Ian Abel´s “Drowning” starts with a dense texture, but then, it develops to a danceable sound. Perfect to let the voices soar with the lyrics. Using “Drowning” as a metaphoric concept to talk about surrendering of oneself to the intensity of the experience of a passionate and consuming relationship. A relationship characterized by power dynamics, seduction, and a desire for intensity. The instrumental section develops the proper textures to let the lyrics explore themes of dominance, surrender, and the allure of danger.
