Dez Rocket has spent years in alt-synth rock, stacking sounds and dialing in details. Akashic Walker cuts most of that out. It’s a quiet track built on a few choices: soft guitar, muted keys, steady rhythm, and a vocal that stays close.
It’s his first love song, and you can tell. The line “So I could be the one in your eyes” sits at the center, repeated without buildup. The delivery stays level. There’s no shift toward climax or payoff. Just a line said plain, in time with the chords.
He still wrote and recorded the core of it himself. Paris Parent plays drums. Chuck Williams handles bass. Dez handed off the final mix to Blake Paulsen, with mastering by Scott Stratton at BGM. The result feels lighter than his usual, less processed. The pieces are simple, but nothing floats.
It’s not a stylistic overhaul. He hasn’t dropped the rest. But Akashic Walker doesn’t bother with flash. It sticks with the tone it starts in.
