not hermes is a mysterious and emerging Lower East Side-based artist. Earlier this week, he shared the first single off his forthcoming EP, “machines,” a swaggering bit of electro pop/electro rock built around buzzing bass synths and twinkling keys paired with enormous, arena rock-like hooks.
The mysterious NYC-based artist closes out the week with “another,” a decidedly more pop-leaning song featuring skittering boom bap beats, glistening, reverb-drenched guitars, shimmering synths paired with not hermes’ plaintive delivery and a big, catchy hook. “another” manages to continue upon its predecessor with a decidedly modern take on a beloved, retro sound.
