Only Human

Onur Ozman makes his label debut on Isolate, fixes our focus on an element or feeling and turns it inside out throughout each track. The delicate but eventually empowering title tune ‘Only Human’ lives up to its name. Trembling and fluttering at first but getting more confident as we march forth. Elsewhere ‘Burden In Jamestown’ takes us to a solemn, poignant place, tapping into a sadness with moving strings and haunted human textures, ‘Kabuki’ flips the scene into a much more dramatic narrative while ‘Section Of Mind’ is a grand, nine minute trip that builds and builds in euphoric emotion as we continue to march towards more hopeful future. A more fitting, beautiful EP finale will be hard to forget. Isolation is preservation; better times to come.
