Iska Dhaaf are a producer-songwriter duo based in Brooklyn. Together they create indie influenced electronicic with a focus on textural soundscapes and lyricism.
Crying In Your Sleep is the latest song from Iska Dhaaf and it creates a lush, cinematic feeling. A slow pulse of electronic percussion gives the song a sense of movement, the sounds gradually layered upon one another whilst soft instrumentation comes together to create a dreamlike sound. If this is crying in your sleep, it sounds peaceful.
Overall it is Benjamin Verdoe’s falsetto vocals that really make Crying In Your Sleep stand-out, enveloping the subtle production with a sense of drama and emotion. The overall sound here evokes a warm, quiet type of disco, the result sounding like Yumi Zouma fronted by Rhye’s Mike Milosh. Crying In Your Sleep is soft, subtle, raw, vulnerable and blissful.
