I love the feeling music can bring to an audience no matter who you are or where you’re from. It’s a universal language where you can share emotions, feelings & passions & hopefully affect who is listening.

Current music doesn’t feel or sound like it’s coming from the soul or a good place.That’s probably because the world is in a shitty state. We’re all going through it whether we admit it or not. You can hear it in the music.
A single note soundscape, a splash of reverb, and a whole lot of silence make for something that leaves you completely lost in the chasm of your own thoughts.
Creatively the music on the project varies distinctly as N0va has collaborated with a number of different producers to build the project, however, there is a definite overall mood that keeps things relevant & easy to escape into.
The music feels distinctly expressive of certain human emotions, but it presents this in a notably electronic & industrial manner. The production is as free as can be, the audio encompasses you like some vast, unexplored desert.
Showcasing the best in poetic story-telling & musical prowess, this album – originally called “Trump Songs for Leonard Cohen” – gives audiences a relevantly Cohen or Dylan-esque playlist of uplifting darkness & provocative reflections on life.
I’m a firm believer that an album should be a complete thought, from the continuity of the sound through to the order of the songs. A lot of times people will record over a long period of time, which often leads to something that seems disjointed.
Brendan McMahon strikes from the heart with this EP. Songs written from the perspective of a traveler, learning the ways of the world, the reality that stands in contrast with what we’re led to believe from afar.
There’s a lot about this that is fresh, which has value both creatively & in terms of being something music fans can take to when the old ways have grown too predictable.
A quick plea to music lovers: The future of independent music is dependent on you. You are the reason that an artist will become “the next big thing”, so don’t be shy. If you like an artist’s music – tell people, share it.
This single produced by JENIUS showcases the smooth musicality & clever conceptual approach of Finessen under a thoughtful & somewhat alternative light.
