freakboy muses music: BRICKLAYER BOSH - “CURSEBREAKER”

It’s been a long couple of years, so the dropping of new music from BRICKLAYER BOSH was like a reward for surviving the madness and chaos. Their first two albums reverberate with a fun vibe, like The B-52’s churned and filtered through a goth-punk-rockabilly spirit box. So, I was in for a dose of intense, and oh so sweet, shock treatment when I listened to CURSEBREAKER! ⚡️

Deeper music!

Darker lyrics!

Angrier attitude!

And damn, I loved it!

BRICKLAYER BOSH takes the listener on a tumultuous transmission trip through flipping off the haters to ditching the jerks you’ve wasted too much of your life on. The electric energy and bulldozing beats in CURSEBREAKER culminate into the hard-won power of finding your voice, but learning that it’s your choice to either fly with your inner music or fall into a deadly pit of silence. A lesson we all need reminding of from time to time.

In conclusion, if you crave a jolt in the new year, plug your mindscape into the magnetic pull of CURSEBREAKER from the rock-sharp core of BRICKLAYER BOSH! 😎

freakboy muses music: DAPHNE (Single) - BLUE SUN CHASING

Blue Sun Chasing is a mixture of electronic and natural audio guiding you through a sensory of soundscapes. These soundscapes are intimate, thought-provoking and sometimes eerily hypnotic explorations beneath the mindskin. As with most music, especially of a more instrumental variety, the listener gets out what the listener brings in.

Daphne is a 2-track single with a theme that touches us all, sooner or later.

(Death) is a Racket explores the high cost of dying in the U.S. with a drifting, contemplative sound. I agree with the frustrating sentiment in this track, but I continue to ponder one thing. Does the birdsong represent a departing soul or is it a sign that life goes on for those left behind?

Casual Conversation delves into the fear of death with a sound that reflects, refracts and reverberates the terror of the unknown. I will admit that I can't hear every word spoken in this track. However, what I can make out, along with the ominous sound, leads me to chilling thoughts. Perhaps not hearing all that is said symbolizes and enhances the unknown we all face.
