Prisms Breaks Free with Untitled_2020
Miami-based artist delivers an unfiltered, deeply personal sonic experiment
In an industry increasingly driven by algorithms, trends, and commercial appeal, few artists dare to strip away the polish and reveal their raw, unfiltered selves. But with Untitled_2020, the latest six-track LP from Prisms, that’s exactly what we get—a deeply personal, uncompromising collection of songs that reject industry expectations in favor of pure artistic expression.
A Release Without Boundaries
Hailing from Miami, Florida, Prisms has long operated within the realms of dreampop, shoegaze, and experimental indie, crafting music that blends textured soundscapes with emotional depth. But this album represents a fundamental shift—a rejection of the idea that music must be meticulously fine-tuned for mass consumption.
"As an artist and creative, we have learned to treat our musical expression as a product," Prisms states. "Intentionally crafted to appeal to the biggest crowd. With this release, I am dropping music for the sake of music. This is a compilation of tracks I was too scared to release out of fear of rejection. This one is not fine-tuned and filtered to get a couple of streams. This one is for me."
It’s an intimate confession—one that speaks to the internal battle many artists face when balancing authenticity with commercial viability.
Raw Sound, Pure Emotion
Sonically, Untitled_2020 is a dreamlike yet imperfect experience—deliberately avoiding overproduction to preserve the immediacy and vulnerability of its original recordings. The album thrives on atmospheric guitars, hazy vocal deliveries, and hypnotic loops, with moments that feel both introspective and cathartic.
Instead of being crafted with playlists or metrics in mind, the tracks on Untitled_2020 feel like fragments of a diary—impressionistic, sometimes rough around the edges, but undeniably honest. It’s an album that invites listeners into the artist’s private world, where emotions are left untouched and the music exists simply because it needed to be made.
A Statement of Artistic Freedom
In an era where indie artists are often pressured to curate their work for social media visibility and algorithmic favor, Prisms takes a bold step in the opposite direction. Untitled_2020 isn’t about chasing numbers—it’s about reclaiming music as a pure, personal form of expression.
For listeners drawn to authenticity, lo-fi intimacy, and atmospheric beauty, Untitled_2020 stands as a testament to the power of imperfection—a record that doesn’t seek validation, yet resonates all the more because of it.
