DARYNKA’s ‘body.404’ isn’t just an EP — it’s an emotional interface. With four tracks, she constructs a world where human presence glitches and breathes through electronic textures. Each song is a version of the self, flickering between screens and skin. It’s not always easy to listen to, but it’s impossible to ignore. “Uploaded Body” begins with what sounds like broken code slowly becoming something sentient. The beat is fractured, the rhythm never quite settles — and that’s the point. It’s like listening to someone trying to remember what a heartbeat feels like. Her voice is soft and distant, like a memory trapped in a file. This track captures the discomfort of becoming something else — no longer flesh, not yet machine.
Then comes “Extended Body”, which feels colder. The pace picks up, but there’s space — like breathing in a vacuum. Her vocal lines stretch like data packets looking for a home. It’s eerie, a little lonely, and beautifully restrained. The way the sounds bend and stretch mirrors the idea of the body no longer ending at the skin. “Real Body” is the most grounded, but that doesn’t mean stable. There’s a sadness here, like wanting to be touched through glass. Her voice sits closer, whisper-like, over slow-moving textures and ghosted rhythms. It’s delicate and raw, the closest the EP gets to feeling human — or remembering how that used to feel.
The final track, “Sensual Body”, doesn’t erupt, it melts. The sound is warmer, the beat a bit fuller, but still unsure. It doesn’t try to resolve anything — instead, it holds you in place, somewhere between tension and release. DARYNKA’s vocals here are almost like breath: intimate, unsure, searching. It’s like the self trying to remember what desire once was, or still might be. ‘body.404’ feels more like a transmission than a traditional release. Each track pulses with unease, curiosity, and vulnerability. DARYNKA doesn’t offer answers — just emotions wrapped in glitches. For anyone open to music that prioritizes feeling over format, this EP is worth sitting still with. It lingers. It stings a little. And somehow, that feels real.
