EKKSTACY is well known for using raw emotion in his music, and his newest single, “She Will be Missed,” is an absolute gut-punch of heartbreak, nostalgia, and unfiltered angst. With a sound that evokes a lovechild of post-punk melancholy and new-wave madness, “She Will Be Missed” encapsulates the agony of loss in a way that only EKKSTACY can intensely, genuinely, and with an imminent sense of catharsis.
It begins with the creepy, unforgettable line, “You’re off me. She will miss everything that we did. It’s gone like we didn’t,” “She Will Be Missed” dives into deep waters of regret and alienation immediately. Fueled by churning, thudding drums and dark waves of guitar, EKKSTACY conjures a cyclone of sound that is both restless and hypnotic. His signature mode of vocal delivery between a cry of despair and a detached murmur perfectly matches the song’s emotional heft, making “She Will Be Missed” a track that fans of The Cure, Joy Division, or the modern-day punk revival shouldn’t sleep on.
It’s a rallying cry for anyone who’s tasted the sorrow of something fading away, packaged around distorted guitars and a thumping heartbeat. EKKSTACY is finding a place where feelings and turmoil meet.
