    "comment": "“Trick Of The Light” showcases Pure Hex’s dynamic fusion of shoegaze, grunge, and alt-rock. The track opens with tense, muted guitar patterns before erupting into waves of distortion and powerful dual vocals. The chorus hits with emotional force, the guitars blooming outward while the drums slam with controlled intensity. Lyrically, the song grapples with perception, memory, and the shifting boundaries between clarity and illusion—echoed in the mix, which alternates between sharp focus and dense haze. The production retains the grit and immediacy of a live band while layering reverb and texture to deepen the emotional impact. Pure Hex continue to stand out in the Bay Area’s heavy-guitar scene for their ability to balance vulnerability and ferocity. “Trick Of The Light” is one of their most compelling statements.\nListen: https://purehex.bandcamp.com/track/trick-of-the-light",
