"Different Wings" was first released as a single in June 2023
"This is another great example of how certain, open minded & diversity-embracing artists can create meaningful work which scorns the genre handcuffs which so much of the music business & mainstream media seeks to bind them within.
If anything, Downdraft out-raucous anything Reiss has done before that I can recall hearing. It's possible that the intensity they conjure up requires such an uncompromising approach to vocals that he felt he needed to be liberated from his own instrumental duties to give his full attention.
Since the words of "Different Wings" are idiosyncratic to the point of freakiness (not a negative criticism), by hearing them, the lack of comprehension that would have occurred if they'd been at all muffled is at least avoided: you can hear them: but then you have to make sense of them still…. The good thing is that you can make your own minds up & take from the song your own conclusions." ("Hot Music Live")
