When December comes then you know it’s a moment filled with joy and mix feelings. Well see I’ve got the best December vibe banger for you and it’s from the shoegaze/post-metal project Shockpowder. The brains behind Shockpowder is the talented Joshua Scurfield who has set our ears for an orgasmic experience with his latest single “Flux” which dropped just this December. Now the fantastic thing is Shockpowder has been dropping bangers with inspirations from rock, shoegaze, and metal, having influences from iconic bands like God is an Astronaut, Alcest, and Slowdive since 2015, haha yes you heard that right. The song is lively and ready to take listeners into a dreamlike atmosphere filled with sounds that captures the power and emotional glory of dreams.
Shockpowder with its own magic and vine has coined the term “metalgazing”. A term that describe its unique fusion of metal and shoegaze, that’s crates a beautiful and unique sound that tastes like nothing you’ve heard before. Now the crazy aspect is even critics and reviewers alike bowed to Shockpowder’s ability to create sounds that comes with a nostalgic feel, heavy-yet-dreamy. Wow see talent, you can’t teach it, you either have it or not and Shockpowder have it in abundance. Before I move on to his latest single Flux, check out “Talking to Plants,” a song where Shockpowder showcased his talent on creating sounds that sounds Soo unique and different.
Well now,with “Flux,” Shockpowder invites us to come and experience music beyond the normal sounds and experience. It’s a song that talks about everyday, like the diversities that comes with it, it’s mix feelings and rather not a singular emotions. According to Joshua Scurfield this masterpiece, Flux wasn’t created to be joyous nor melancholic but rather unpredictable. Laying emphasis on how life can be unpredictable and is subject to change. So lemme say, hold on, keep grinding and explore the adventures that comes with the Flux within our lives. The lyrics talks about change and how nothing last forever, people say goodbyes and we welcome new people but in the end embrace the change and know that it’s life and flux is subject to change.
Flux is a song that really takes listeners on an experience they’ve never had before, with it’s slow tempo and nature like sounds, coupled with creativity and how the lyrics makes everything clicks, just shows how much of talent and creativity that went into it. Joshua I give you your flowers, you really crafted this one, so go ahead and experience change and enjoy Flux. Make sure to check him out on the links below;
