Brooklyn musician Lord Sonny the Unifier goes from power to power on the uncompromising, attitude-laced and philosophically-charged You Had been Born to Save Your Life, out now on streaming platforms. For avid followers of bodily product and vinyl collectors, the unique vinyl launch is now out there completely via the Interstellar Smoke Data Bandcamp web page.
‘The King of Brooklyn’ continues the heavy push for this relentless rock assault with two new music movies for the album’s third and 4th official singles. “Wanna Guess Your Life”, out now on Youtube, is a rollicking and brash journey via the untamed musical psyche and no-holds barred method this artist exemplifies. There merely aren’t any compromises available with LSTU and the brooding charisma is contagious. The video showcases an enormous legal underworld, the place, as you’ll be able to guess, Lord Sonny performs a major position in calling the photographs.
Most lately, “I’m Out” captures frenetic lightning in a bottle. Musically, that is an anthem for escaping the shackles of limitation and all expectation, like exhibiting up sudden, unannounced and counted out. Very like Soundgarden’s basic “Rusty Cage”, this can be a universally relatable, guttural rock molotov cocktail. The video takes us via bat nation and manic psychedelia, futuristic want for pace and a rattling good time.
Additionally, on prime of the bodily launch being made out there early on vinyl via Interstellar Smoke Data, and that is extremely beneficial for any rock, punk, stoner and associated document collectors, the digital model is on the market for all on streaming providers.
Written from the angle of a kind of time traveler or somebody who’s simply bumping into the wild perspective of the society of 2024, Lord Sonny band chief Greg Jiritano and his band have approached You Had been Born to Save Your Life conceptually in addition to musically. With their basic sound nonetheless on the base, the musical vary of the album pushes their unique sound past put up punk and Americana into the realms of psych rock, psychobilly and even goth. Whether or not that is intentional to go along with the lyrical theme, it appears not even Jiritano is certain, however the course of was that vocals come final.
All of the songs have been written on this very small house with a keyboard after which dropped at life within the studio after enhancing the demos with synths, guitars and bass. Vocals are at all times added after the track was roughed out after which lyrics added on the very finish of the method. I by no means wish to write the lyrics first as I really feel they would possibly impeded the vocal melody- which in the long run is an important a part of any track. If we lock in to the lyrics first the melody itself would possibly undergo. In fact this would possibly then restrict the potential of the lyrics, and does typically create fairly a problem to search out essentially the most poignant lyrics that now should match the “mumbo jumbo” of the demo’s vocal line.
The idea itself, nonetheless, isn’t precisely ‘”mumbo jumbo”, and Jiritano and firm needed to make a transparent assertion about how wild actuality is now, in addition to the truth that the core of human existence is similar because it ever was. With kind of a Hitchhiker’s Information to the Galaxy philosophical take, the narrator of every of those song-stories has simply as a lot recommendation for contemporary humanity as commentary.
‘You Had been Born To Save Your Life’ is a musical have a look at the psychology and psychopathy of our earthly inhabitants, our fellow vacationers, our nemesis and our inspirations. What do we are saying to the beast earlier than us with a machete? What do we are saying to change his methods? Can we run to the timber and jot down our observations or choose up a stone to his machete? Placing tune and rhythm, melody and lyrics to this confounding time is each a little bit of stone throwing and tree jotting commentary.
…like a time capsule found and opened 100 years from now, that is the diary of a citizen with a vantage level a bit greater than floor stage…that is what he noticed, what he did, these have been the observations, these have been a few of the choices. Hope and despair in equal measure. To remain and struggle or to leap on the Harley and bear witness and easily chronicle.
It’s the character of Lord Sonny shaking his head at a post-COVID panorama; an outlaw out of necessity, or ‘the Savage’ from Courageous New World. The album’s lead single, “Maintain the Fierce” speaks to this struggle or flight battle, this observe recommend each. With a musical melding of Lemmy-meets-Eagles of Loss of life Metallic-meets Pleasure Division, the one’s video performs on the track’s “it’s okay to chaos” theme because it facilities round a chaotic demolition derby race wherein the band are each pondering and egging on this fierce chaos. One option to “Maintain the Fierce”, the track and video recommend, is to remain on the outskirts of society so one can keep wild. Hearth and crashing busses for enjoyable definitely achieves that.
“Maintain the Fierce”, the album’s cut-throat lead single, re-introduced Lord Sonny to its fandom with swagger. It’s a bumpy, thought frightening trip, and it’ll probably solely get extra fascinating from right here.
The prolific Brooklyn musician’s second single “I Suppose We’ve Been Had”, captures his relatable ethos to a tee and comes with an accompanying video.
“We’re all the topics of a purposeful, lively, malevolent, mass hypnosis, a propaganda so invasive, all-powerful and so fluid most of us are blind to it’s presence. Some individuals are waking as much as it and are retaliating. Sadly, not many and never sufficient for any lasting change, in the mean time. Utilizing petty fears that is tragically simple to perform. When medical, scientific research have present that 1 in 100 to 150 males are Psychopathic or rating very excessive on the Psychopathic check that is simple to see who’s doing the manipulating and the way this malevolence is so close to to us every day. These similar research present that Psychopaths make up at the least 20% of the heads of Companies, Regulation companies, the Police drive, Political seats and so forth, anywhere the place individuals search positions to dominate others.
The rise to energy is simpler to perform with out empathy and concern for our brothers and sisters and they also do with a wink and a nod together with their fellow Psychopaths. Sure they acknowledge one another. This isn’t the point of view of a paranoid sufferer or a dystopian sci-fi nightmares creator, that is scientific analysis that’s now turning into extra acknowledged by the better inhabitants, fortunately, lastly. Maybe via shining the sunshine on them we will disinfect these establishments considerably. Let’s pray for that.
I kindly stated “I Suppose” we’ve been had however honestly we have now “Positively” been had.”
