Afiasco is a duo that consists of Kevin Persaud and Eric Hazucha who both grew up in the same neighborhood of New York. They dropped their first EP earlier this year although they have been playing music together since they were teenagers. Persaud’s production, smooth guitar and piano playing with Hazucha’s unorthodox and melodic vocals/lyrics make this duo stand out from the rest. The band’s EP was recorded in Persaud's studio in Sloatsburg, NY.
According to the band, the best words to describe their new EP is, “happy, sad, nostalgic, trippy, dark, and hopeful all at once.” I feel those are very appropriate words for this EP. The song that opens the EP is “Forever” and it’s probably my favorite. I absolutely love Hazucha’s hypnotic, yet relaxing voice. His voice is chameleon-like that blends with any instrument to producing amazing music. The next song is “Smoke” and it opens up with an acoustic guitar riffs. I love the lyrics of this song, especially “I’ve been up for days, made up all my mistakes, time to let it go.” This would be the kind of song I would jam out to in my high school days. All these songs deal with dark subject matter but with a twist that doesn’t leave you in a dark hell hole. “Radio” has an upbeat start with the acoustic guitar. This song has adorable harmonics that make you want to smile. It’s charming. This song and the final song “Wasteland” have very powerful storytelling lyrics that make you follow the story straightaway. I can’t wait to see what they produce in the future.
