In 2016, he released “French” and “The Loser”, two DIY songs that weren't much more than a guitar, grainy effects, and some echoing vocals, driven by the spirit of a teenager discovering a passion for studio production. On his 2017 releases “Ice Cream”, “Hiccup”. A pivotal moment arrived with the release of his debut EP, "D97," in 2017. This compilation featured the acclaimed track "Waiting For You," a collaborative effort with musician Swell. With the EP "D97", he began to dive deeper into rapping and lo-fi hip-hop, while making a professional shift into something that was ‘not so bedroom’ anymore. Verzache's trajectory surged further with the introduction of captivating singles such as "Losing My Love," "Needs," and "No More" in 2018 and 2019.
Verzache's creative approach is characterized by experimentation, resulting in a versatile spectrum of musical expressions. His sonic palette spans dynamic trap beats, evocative future bass interludes, and the intimate resonance of lo-fi and acoustic compositions. Influences from contemporary artists like Rex Orange County and Monte Booker are evident, while he draws inspiration from visionaries such as James Blake, Bon Iver, and Toro y Moi.
His fusion of acoustic guitar harmonies, electronic production, and compelling vocals got attention in the Soundcloud electronic music scene. A cornerstone of the underground Soundcloud movement, Verzache collaborated with fellow artists GOLDWATER, umru, and Lege Kale in multiple live performances across the United States and Canada.
The recognition of Farache's creative prowess extended to mainstream media, with The New York Times spotlighting one of his performances in Brooklyn as a highlighted event in their "12 Pop, Rock and Jazz Concerts to Check Out in N.Y.C. This Weekend" segment in March 2020.
Building upon his artistic evolution, Verzache has continued to refine his sound and expand his musical horizons, navigating the realms of indie and hip-hop genres. On March 5, 2021, he released the album "My Head is a Moshpit," offering an introspective exploration of his state of mind and an autobiographical reflection on mental challenges in young adulthood. The album's themes of isolation, self-doubt, anxiety, and personal struggles resonate deeply, reflecting Farache's dedication to using the music-making process as a form of therapy and self-expression.
Look Away
Verzache Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And I never used ya didn't see a warning sign
Got used to dealing with your pretty little lies
And I felt it better than I ever did in my life (On that night)
Why'd you look away?
Was it something that I said?
I'm feeling super great
And I cannot feel my face
I'm just screaming like
Ah, oh, ah, oh
Ah, oh, ah-oh-oh-oh
Ah, oh, ah, oh
Ah, oh, ah-oh-oh-oh
I'm just screamin' like
Yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah
Yeah, oh, yeah
Yeah-yeah-yeah
'Kay, well everything's a part of me
The pop culture the jewelry
I order on my phone
And they send it to my home
The internet is fucking me
I wanna charge they watch for free
I kick it all alone
Hope they don't make me a clone
Don't need no apology
Remember what it did for me
Nothing on its own
Same words different tone
Want me to sweep you off your feet
Will do it well probably
It's tough out in the cold
And this love is just a loan
Why'd you look away?
Was it something that I said?
I'm feeling super great
And I cannot feel my face
I'm just screaming like
Ah, oh, ah, oh
Ah, oh, ah-oh-oh-oh
Ah, oh, ah, oh
Ah, oh, ah-oh-oh-oh
Weekdays I just let 'em run away
Shouldn't spend no time
Guessing what you're gonna say
It's not my problem
These thoughts still moshing
Heart pumping still don't wanna pass away
But I can't stand living like this up in any way
What you want then
These thoughts still moshing
Why'd you look away?
Was it something that I said?
I'm feeling super great
And I cannot feel my face
I'm just screaming like
Ah, oh, ah, oh
Ah, oh, ah-oh-oh-oh
Ah, oh, ah, oh
Ah, oh, ah-oh-oh-oh

Just cool it only got a matter of time
Wait patiently, things will happen eventually and naturally
And I never used ya didn't see a warning sign
I didn't take advantage of you, you should have seen the signs that we weren't meant to be
Got used to dealing with your pretty little lies
I learned to accept your lies because they made me feel good
And I felt it better than I ever did in my life (On that night)
That one night felt better than anything else I've ever felt
Why'd you look away?
Why did you turn a blind eye to me?
Was it something that I said?
Did I do or say something wrong?
I'm feeling super great
I'm feeling really good right now
And I cannot feel my face
I'm so happy that my emotions are overwhelming me to the point where I can't feel anything else
I'm just screaming like
My excitement is so intense that I can't contain it and am screaming
Weekdays I just let 'em run away
I don't really care about the mundane days of the week
Shouldn't spend no time guessing what you're gonna say
I shouldn't waste time trying to predict what you'll say or do
It's not my problem these thoughts still moshing
It's not my responsibility that my thoughts are chaotic
Heart pumping still don't wanna pass away
My heart is still beating and I don't want it to stop
But I can't stand living like this up in any way
I can't continue living like this, in this state of confusion and chaos
What you want then
What do you want from me?
Ah, oh, ah, oh
A vocalization of excitement and joy
Ah, oh, ah-oh-oh-oh
A continuation of the vocalization of excitement and joy
Yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah
An expression of agreement or enthusiasm
Yeah, oh, yeah
An expression of agreement or enthusiasm
Yeah-yeah-yeah
An expression of agreement or enthusiasm
Kay, well everything's a part of me
Everything, including mainstream culture and consumerism, is a part of who I am
The pop culture the jewelry
Popular culture and expensive jewelry have become a part of my identity
I order on my phone
I can easily buy things online
And they send it to my home
And the things I buy are delivered straight to my house
The internet is fucking me
The internet is both enabling and consuming me
I wanna charge they watch for free
I want to take advantage of big corporations by getting free stuff
I kick it all alone
I spend most of my time alone
Hope they don't make me a clone
I hope society doesn't turn me into a cliche or generic person
Don't need no apology
I don't need anyone to apologize to me
Remember what it did for me
Remember what that one good night did for me
Nothing on its own
Nothing can truly fulfill me or make me feel complete
Same words different tone
Even if the words are the same, the way they are said can have a huge impact on me
Want me to sweep you off your feet
You want me to impress you or exceed your expectations
Will do it well probably
I'm confident in my ability to impress you
It's tough out in the cold
It's hard to find someone who truly understands me
And this love is just a loan
This relationship is temporary and not meant to last
Ah, oh, ah, oh
A vocalization of excitement and joy
Ah, oh, ah-oh-oh-oh
A continuation of the vocalization of excitement and joy
Ah, oh, ah, oh
A vocalization of excitement and joy
Ah, oh, ah-oh-oh-oh
A continuation of the vocalization of excitement and joy
