MUSIC INSIGHT
ignore this one . If the instrumentals themselves don ’ t ‘ wake you up ’, the line “ walking through life taking your cues from a 32 inch screen ” should let you know that this song is a call to action . “ Nothing ’ s sacred , nothing ’ s ever real , and everyone is hypnotized .” A word of warning , this track may make you consider going off the grid .
Each song seems to feature an open structure that allows for guitar and drum solos to stand out . These moments grant the listener a glimpse into the overall creative vision for the song , and even for the album as a whole . It gives these men an extra moment in the spotlight which they undoubtedly deserve . This debut project pushes the envelope and seems to set the course toward a bright future for this group of artists . After listening to this project one is left with only one question , Secondhand Jones , when exactly can we expect more ? ✽
