Undiscovered Gem of the Week: The Haptics and Zeroes

The Haptics, a four-piece Vancouver band (est. 2022), are very aware of the mental health crisis in this country. Here’s how they describe this song: “Anyone who’s spent time in psychiatric care, especially in a hospital setting, knows the hopelessness of their long hallways and empty gazes. But there’s also a powerful unity in suffering together, even at your lowest point. That’s what inspired these words and propels this song to its conclusion, which is an acknowledgement of a mental health patient that Jin met years ago who unfortunately passed during her care.”

You’ll hear bits of Joy Division and The Cure mixed in with their sound.
