“523” is an Earl Sweatshirt produced track under his pseudonym RandomBlackDude and serves as an interlude for his studio album Doris. The production features some light drums and an eerie piano played on a loop throughout the duration of the track. This eeriness follows previous track such as “Centurion” and “Hive,” to continue with the dark and distant themes this album brings to the listener. The whole instrumental is reminiscent of a slowed down version of the Silent Hill soundtrack. Read more on Last.fm.
