Antoin Gibson - 'Dead End'

London-based artist and experimental pop composer Antoin Gibson returns with 'Dead End', a stark, piano-led piece that strips away convention to reveal something deeply personal and disquietingly honest.

Departing from structured hooks and predictable rhythms, 'Dead End' captures a moment of collapse, written during a period of autistic burnout and creative exhaustion. The track trades traditional pop form for breath, space, and dissonance, mirroring the fragmentation of thought and the intensity of sensory overload.

Anchored by haunting piano and unadorned vocals, the song avoids resolution in favour of atmosphere, resisting ornamentation in both sound and structure. The lyrics flow instinctively, rejecting typical patterns in favour of raw expression.

Released on Gibson’s own label Circum-Sŏnus, 'Dead End' continues their trajectory into cinematic, avant-garde territory, where emotion and form are inseparable, and meaning often lies in what’s left unsaid.
