SENSOR NOISE – Fire in the Sky
It’s a good time for make-believe! It’s a mighty fine time to put your biggest wishes into words and lock them up in a bottle, a box, or use them to create a song! This is the kind of time when they’ve the best chance of coming true.
After all, what else can you do? Will you just be one of the millions routinely tortured by the daily news, or perpetually unhappy with the things that life has offered them and lack of better opportunities?
Yes, Sensor Noise understand that this is the perfect era for fantasy. It’s the ideal time to trip out, lean out over the edge while holding onto nothing but a dream, push your dreams out to the extreme.
Musically, “Fire in the Sky” blends a murky, aggressive kind of grunge-rock with a familiar, exploratory type of psychedelic-rock. It’s a song about longing. But it’s also a song about illusions and one on which you can lay your own interpretation. A new era has begun, and it has little to do with the truth.
Modula Nation – Silicon Carne
The moment somebody at one of the big fizzy drink companies makes a mistake and adds just a teaspoon less sugar, the audience of these products will fill the streets with the blood of the innocent.
Yes, there are people who notice these kinds of things. Yes, they are made up, especially, of folks who want to avoid change at all costs, who count the ways in which the world has got worse based on how many times their plans have needed changing.
Fortunately, there is also a minority that operates in a distinctively different way. While most successful bands make nearly the exact same brand of music throughout their careers and adhere strictly to a genre, bands like Modula Nation move in a different direction.
“Silicon Carne” is a song meant to signal just how brave these musicians can be. The song brings to mind the sound and attitude of Faith No More. Hard-funk, alt-rock with a sprinkle of jazz and Balkan folk are brought into a tune where experimentation is treated as a virtue.
