It\u2019s a potent dose of atmospheric rock richly layered with goth electronic textures, tribal drums, and bursts of chaotic noise. The thorough line here is experimental progressive-rock composer Carlos Argon\u2019s dreamy low-register vocals which, taken with the song\u2019s self-love thematic bend, are hypnotically healing. He clarifies: <em>\u201cIt\u2019s all about starting to step out of the shadows with the help of a knowing and strong bond with a loving partner.

Hidden Beams compositions are constructed from found sounds, improvisations, and composed sections. \u201c<em>Regardless of experimentation, the focus is always on creating healing, soothing and, sometimes, jarring songs. These songs serve as windows into confusion and acceptance, realization, and insight,\u201d<\/em> Carlos notes.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If there is a mission statement for the project it is that Hidden Beams is a metaphor for the invisible forces that shape our lives, these span polarities that drive us such as love and hate, healing and harming, and others energies that spur is into light or dip us into darkness.&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<div class=\"mh-excerpt\"><p>Hidden Beams has shared his new single,\u00a0Reveal.
