Rainy Days To Be Gone In A Day by Capsika – A Drum n Bass Gem You Didn’t Know You Needed
Alright, so let’s talk about Rainy Days To Be Gone In A Day by Capsika. Released back in 2015 under Atmomatix Records (shoutout to the Netherlands for keeping the electronic scene alive), this little album kinda sneaks up on you. It’s not trying too hard to be flashy or over-the-top—it just does its thing, and honestly? That’s what makes it stick.
First off, if you’re into Drum n Bass, you already know how much vibe matters. This album’s got that moody, atmospheric thing going on, like you’re walking through a foggy city at night but somehow still feeling kinda hopeful. Let’s dive into a couple tracks that really stood out for me.
Track 1: "Rainy Days"
Okay, so this one hits different. The intro starts with these soft, almost melancholic pads—like, imagine staring out of a window during an actual rainy day, coffee in hand, thinking about life choices. But then BAM! The beat drops, and suddenly you’re not sad anymore; you’re vibing. Like, proper head-nodding, foot-tapping vibes. What gets me is how smooth the transitions are—it doesn’t feel forced or jarring. It’s like Capsika knows exactly when to pull you back from your emo thoughts and remind you to enjoy the moment. I’ve had this track on repeat more times than I care to admit.
Track 2: "To Be Gone In A Day"
This one feels… urgent? Like there’s something you need to figure out before time runs out. The bassline is relentless, driving the whole thing forward, while these glitchy sounds pop in and out like little surprises. There’s this one section where everything cuts out except for this eerie synth line, and man, it gives me chills every time. It’s weirdly cinematic, like the soundtrack to some indie film where the protagonist has to save the world or something equally dramatic. Honestly, it’s the kind of song that makes you want to run faster on your morning jog—or maybe that’s just me?
So yeah, Rainy Days To Be Gone In A Day might not be the flashiest album out there, but it’s got soul. It doesn’t try to reinvent Drum n Bass, but it doesn’t have to. Sometimes simplicity works best, ya know? Plus, coming from the Netherlands—a place known for its flat landscapes and questionable weather—it kinda fits perfectly.
Here’s the random thought to leave you with: Listening to this album feels like Capsika took all their rainy-day moods and turned them into something worth dancing to. And honestly, isn’t that what music’s supposed to do? Fix our bad days without us even realizing it.
