DUMDUMDUUUUUUUUUUH. JASON SMITH ANNOUNCES NEW SINGLE.
Hey guys. It's the J meister. I promised you guys new music and here we are. I have a new single called Frown Upon, off of my upcoming album and I'm pretty darn pleased with it. You can listen to it here. More of the B-Sides and stuff to be put up later, but I might as well announce them while I'm at it.
1. Frown Upon (3:43) (Post-Rock/ Alternative Rock)
A spacey, eerie guitar plays slowly at the start of the song, shrouded beneath ambient effects that fill it with a sense of mystery. An electronic, synthesized drum then plays quietly in the background, but it is still audible enough to be heard beneath all of the sonic noise above it. Eventually, the ambient effects die down and the drums become louder. The guitar remains at a steady pace still, although that will soon change. The riff itself is sporadic and constantly changing, almost like an extremely slow solo. After this carries on for about 20 seconds or so, an actual drum and bass fly in quickly, with the guitar now playing a faster, anthemic alternative rock riff. This sets the basis for the verses of the song. Once the vocals appear, they are high-pitched and dramatic, and at the strongest they’ve ever been. The “not anymore” to “This life is love inside my head” part is a different riff, with a dark, yet funky ska-like riff being played on the rhythm guitar, and the lead guitar playing frantic, technical arpeggios. It then returns abruptly to its original state, except with the lead guitar playing the solo from the beginning, leaving the rhythm to play the riff. After that, the penultimate segment appears. For this, the whole of the song is compressed and reversed into a few seconds, before it goes into a slower, doom-like and atmospheric guitar piece. The words here are sung solemnly above it. It then cuts out into an ambient piece, with the last line being spoken over it by Jason and then a high pitched, almost screech-like laughter.
This time I go into a new life, Thinking about the ones before, Karma, religion, it’s all true, I guess, Since I can now experience it first hand.
I don’t care if you sing my words, I won’t lie if you bounce along, I seriously couldn’t care less, About anyone other than myself.
Not anymore, I can’t feel, I won’t feel, This life is love inside my head.
One who has lived life in vanity, Must take pride in their demise too, No hyperbole or hypocrisy. You chose to die, in the end.
I need more now, Just one more fix, Then I swear I’ll be done.
Even at the time that the pebbles are being counted out, be not frightened; tell no lies; and fear not the Lord of Death.
