Simitree, the musical mind of musician Charlie Kessenich blends influences in genres in a hypnotic fashion on his new track “Get On The Ball.”
Opening with the electronic and throbbing textures of early Nine Inch Nails, it soon simmers into a more soothing Radiohead-like proggy / experimental folk arrangement that soars high into the sky. Gorgous and smartly constructed, the song serves as a good introduction to the music prowess of Kessenich.
About the song, he adds:
“Get On The Ball” is a pre-apocalyptic directive advocating a consciousness shift that might result in a world in which humans get their shit together and make life more liveable and sustainable for each other and as many creatures as possible. It is “a comeback story for the ages;” a meditation on how we’ve known all along, deep within our cells, what is right and what is wrong. We need to get on the ball and crawl our way back to what we know in the recesses of our genetics: a way to live a life of balance within ourselves and without in the external habitat. We must be willing to fight for it, and the frontlines of that fight are against our own habitual thought cycles and abuses of our modern comforts.
