Wiardon - Lost Files (EP)

Wiardon released a surprise EP titled “Lost Files” via SoundCloud amidst the release of "Weight Of The World, " where his production played a huge part in shifting the new dynamic sound of Reek & Malcolm. While his previous releases were meticulously crafted projects layered with Wiardon's intricate production, the surprise EP feels more raw and experimental, allowing Wiardon to flex different creative muscles.

The EP opens with a more minimalist production approach, focusing heavily on Wiardon’s lyrical prowess. The beats are stripped down, giving space for his verses to shine, and you can feel the urgency in his delivery. It’s clear that this project was designed to showcase his versatility, with Wiardon exploring various themes ranging from introspection to the struggles of balancing success with personal life. Unlike the polished feel of his predecessors, the SoundCloud EP embraces a more DIY aesthetic. While still impressive, the production carries a lo-fi edge that complements Wiardon’s gritty flow. There’s a sense of spontaneity in the tracks, almost as if they were recorded in a single session, capturing the raw emotion of the moment. One of the standout tracks on the EP dives deep into the complexities of fame, echoing some of the sentiments from his album, “Berserk,” but with a more personal and unfiltered perspective. The hooks are catchy yet introspective, reflecting Wiardon’s ability to merge thought-provoking content with accessible melodies.

Wiardon’s surprise EP serves as an example of his work ethic and creative range. It provides a different flavor from anything currently out, offering fans a deeper look into his artistic process and the various sounds he can deliver. The rawness of this project adds a refreshing layer to his discography, proving that Wiardon is an artist who’s not afraid to take risks and explore new territory.
