A surreal, groove-forward fairytale turned sideways, Let Down Your Hair reimagines Rapunzel not as a trapped princess but as a dystopian symbol of control, resistance, and surveillance. The track fuses art rock and funk, led by a tightly coiled rhythm and layered with spoken-word vocals that sound both intimate and ominous.
Erich’s delivery is sarcastic, seductive, and unsettling — like someone reading bedtime stories through a static-filled intercom in the middle of a societal collapse. His voice walks the line between prophet and provocateur.
The title line becomes a loaded command: Let down your hair isn’t a request for connection — it’s a metaphor for exposure, vulnerability, power, and maybe even programming. As the groove deepens, the song transforms from narrative to warning, like a fable rewritten by someone who knows what happens after the storybook closes.
