So here is an example of an artist that I was clearly late onto the scent of. AWOLNATION consists of Aaron Bruno (formerly of Under the Influence of Giants, Hometown Hero and Insurgence...yeah never heard of them of either) who's song Sail caught my attention whilst on a general browse on YouTube.
How this low-fi yet synth explosive, bold yet soothing song managed to not infect the airwaves globally akin to an Owl City's 'Fireflies' I don't know but it's bloody good. Drawing inspirations from punk, metal, hip-hop and pop his songs are certainly a mash of genres leading to a mixture of emotions across the album from ballards to sheer anarachy and screaming.
Bruno believes that listeners should find their own interpretation in a song, instead of being forced fed the ideals of the artist, this struck huge sense with me. Not only do I think of multiple meanings to songs by myself when listening to them but you can go on any website such as songmeanings.net to find fans debating and arguing over the meanings of individual lyrics. Just sit back and take in the music, make it what you want it to be. That's what I'm going to let you do now. Enjoy guys.
