Deep Phoenix launches his new single, ‘No Longer Human’

The indie artiste’s new instrumental track gets its name from a book by author Osamu Dazai

Deep Phoenix's latest single, No Longer Human, marks a departure from his acoustic guitar-driven releases of the past. This instrumental piece serves as a profound expression of his musical evolution and the knowledge he’s been imparting to fellow enthusiasts. “I’m venturing down a different musical path, and this track is a testament to that,” he affirms. Infused with electronic elements and an abundance of guitar, it weaves in mesmerising notes of piano, ukulele, tabla, and more. This release is the third in a series of upcoming tracks that share a similar sonic palette. “I’m no longer fixated on achieving commercial success. Right now, it’s all about the journey of learning and sharing,” he emphasises. In terms of rhythm, the songs offer a scope for diverse interpretations. Whether heard in a 4/4 or 6/8 or ⅞ pattern, according to this indie artiste, each listener finds their unique groove.
