SIESKI’s “Coffee” Blends Dreamy Shoegaze with Rhythmic Intensity in a Meditation on Sensory Overload
SIESKI’s “Coffee” is a hazy, intoxicating blend of shoegaze and alt-pop, drizzled over an irresistibly rhythmic groove with colors of Afro-lilt bounce. The song embodies, from its opening lines, a weightless, nearly surreal quality, reflecting the push and pull between stimulation and overstimulation, grounding and spiraling. Her casual vocals sound like they’ve been exhaled from her lungs, and float comfortably over the upbeat instrumental, resulting in a tension in the contrast that keeps the song from feeling weightless while not losing its emotional edge.
In fact, “Coffee” is more than just an ode to caffeine — it’s a meditation on sensitivity, overstimulation and the scale of self-control. Lines like “My limbs, lighter than ever, has gravity stopped grounding me? suggest a drifting, untethered state, while the refrain of “Try not to have too much of it” reflects the known battle of when to stop, when to breathe, when to just be. The production perfectly matches this feeling, with dreamy synth layers and subtle percussive elements that keep the track pushing on while leaving space to reflect.
On “Coffee,” SIESKI gives us a song that is as comforting as it is cerebral, equally fitting for those introspective moments with a steaming cuppa jo or simply to let the beat guide you through a sleepless night. It’s a delicate equilibrium of light and dark, energy and tranquility — just like the drink.
