SINGLE REVIEW: KOA “OUT OF MY REACH”

“Out Of My Reach” is a song you could really sit and let it sink you in. Inspired by the way people enjoy skipping to their favorite part of the song and changing it, KOA took a leap of faith and converted three songs into one. Representing the rapid change in the way we feel and see ourselves, the song breaks down to three different stages of the mental struggle between self and outside opinions: anger, frustration; pretend, and giving in to the black hole.
Maybe it was the way “Out Of My Reach” was produced, the song gives you a constant high that doesn’t resolve when the music stops. The distant “be greater” echoes in the background like a curse in the pain-filled texture, every word KOA wrote seems to speak directly to your heart. From its gloomy, slightly disoriented soundscapes to haunting, mesmerizing melodies, the surreal, distorted vocals, and chant-like rhythms only hit you harder.
KOA consists of two brothers from Arizona, Austin & Jagger Spacy. Coming from different perspectives in the creative industry, the two join forces with an even stronger collaboration KOA.
