„caes“ is an experience. With bleeping synths, a fractured marching beat, and two contrasting female voices, singer-producer Lucrecia Dalt creates a distictive soundscape whose grip is hard to escape. “caes“ is the third single off her upcoming album A Danger to Ourselves, which she co-produced with UK legend David Sylvian, who makes an appearance in the opening track of the record.

Lucrecia says about the song:

Musically, I wanted to hint at a slowed-down and diluted dembow, but with a melodic energy that felt ancient. Poetically, it’s an amalgamation of various references; it examines the legacy of one's life through the lens of tragedy. Ana Mendieta and Evelyn McHale were specific figures, in my mind. It features my dear friend Camille who has a unique voice that is rare to hear nowadays. I love it when female voices carry a certain depth, and they don’t spend too much time in the upper, breathy register.
