“Live From The Asylum” by Mr Gochi is an EP that offers a unique, dark and deeply introspective experience. With seven tracks that are each different yet connected by a creative, almost haunting quality, the project pulls you into Mr Gochi’s mind. Right from the second track, you can sense the care and thought put into every beat, melody and word. The production is impressive with creative choices in mixing that bring out a rich, layered sound, allowing the vocals and instrumentals to shine.
Each track feels crafted to express specific thoughts and emotions that come from Mr Gochi’s personal struggles. What makes this EP especially powerful is knowing that these songs were written in a psych ward, where the artist was experiencing intense feelings of loneliness, frustration, and self-reflection. It’s a bold, unfiltered look into his inner world, and you can hear the rawness in his voice. The vocals stick with you, partly because they’re memorable but also because of the emotion behind them. Instrumentals add to this dark vibe, creating a distinct atmosphere that’s unlike anything you usually hear.
The EP is a conversation with his inner demons and you can feel that honesty in every track. For example, the second track “The Reign of the Jester” which Mr Gochi wrote during a stay in a psych ward in Hobart, stands out for its raw portrayal of the thoughts and emotions that come during difficult times. Every track seems to have its quirks and imperfections, which only adds to the EP’s charm.
This record is Mr Gochi’s most personal work yet and it deserves attention for the raw, emotional journey it takes you on. It’s rare to find music that’s so vulnerable and unpolished in a way that feels intentional and powerful. Overall, if you’re looking for music that isn’t afraid to dive into dark, personal themes and offer a unique sound, this EP is worth listening to. Don’t forget to follow Mr Gochi on his socials to stay updated on his future releases!
