- Forgive Me

- Finale
162 is a project that seems to exude a very dark and murky mood. I want to call
it almost gothic but that particular term has too much of a guitar connotation
behind it and this music is entirely electronic. Darkwave might be a good
description, summing up the macabre frame of reference the music uses so well.
Most of the tracks are very minimal, preferring to build upon a finite number
of musical elements rather than drown out the content with unnecessary
resonance. Several of the tracks contain vocals pieces, both male and female
and range from discordant to melodic. The closest musical equivalent 162 has is
that of Thine Eyes because both bands share many similar common musical
arrangements and programmed samples. This brief musical taste has left me
yearning for more of this oddly enticing musical project and maybe we'll see
more of 162 in the future.
