Shellmy taps directly into pharmaceutical melancholy as Depas (デパス) (brand name of an anti-anxiety medication, etizolam) drop a two-track single named after the anti-anxiety medication itself—because subtlety is clearly not on today’s prescription. Operating within the menhera kei spectrum, the project leans into themes of mental fragility, chemical coping, and aestheticized instability, all wrapped in a sound that balances melancholic melodies with an unsettling emotional undercurrent. While concrete details about the artist’s hometown remain obscure, Depas are firmly rooted in Japan’s underground VK ecosystem, where vulnerability is amplified rather than hidden.
