Spirit Award dish out warped psychedelia on hazy offering "Supreme Truth"
Seattle's Spirit Award project their hazy sound through a kaleidoscopic lens, filling "Supreme Truth" with their melodic and breezy whirlwind of noise.
Brimming with psych rock sounds, "Supreme Truth" is as much a gentle row down a canal as it is an intense hallucinogenic trip, as it weaves between a head-bopping, summer-infused melody and a darker, punchy riff that'll have your head spinning.
Spirit Award explain their track concept, "The idea for the song is based on the Japanese death cult, “Aum Shinrikyo", lead by Shoko Asahara, who basically recruited rich nerds to join his cult, and carry out the Tokyo subway sarin attack in 1995. We got really fascinated by cults, institutions, and religions and how they recruit and keep followers. I think part of it is, we don’t see people in cults and religions as people. We put a label on them to separate them. Humans do this often. It’s really easy to get lost in something if that’s all you’re surrounded by."
Through the urgency in the psychedelic sounds, you can hear the whirring restriction that's like a vacuum, sucking you in to a spiral that'll leave you without much option on how to live your life.
Overpowering and expanding in energy, "Supreme Truth" is a whirlwind of a journey through darkness and light, contradicting eachother in an enchanting, musical depiction.
