Consider the Source: Enemies of Magick
I was elated to hear that Consider the Source has a new album coming out this year, and even more excited to see this first single. You Are Literally A Metaphor is due out on March 1st, and if “Enemies of MagicK” is any indication, it’s going to be epic.
Starting with a unison tapped line over a cool chord progression, the song evokes a sense of mystery that puts the “sci-fi” in their self-described “Sci-fi Middle Eastern Fusion” style. Bassist John Ferrara is putting in double duty on the track. Besides his insane tapping and fingerstyle playing, he busts out his midi foot pedal to expand the band’s sonic palette.
Better buckle up: this one is a journey!
