If music was once easy to categorize, those days are long gone. The ushering in of the post-genre world has swept away those old tribal days when everyone —or pretty much everyone —lined up within clear musical demarcations. And it means that music makers are now free to mix and match, meld, and mould new sounds from any influences and inspirations they find in the musical landscape—music makers such as HuffDaddy.
“Slay the Moon” is the perfect example of what I mean. We might be greeted by cascades and coils of indie guitar, but as soon as the song really gets moving, its momentum comes as much from ticking trap beats and blasts of digital depth charge bass pulses as anything else.
And the overall vibe is big —Nu-Metal big —this balancing act of the digital and the analog feels like the perfect meeting of worlds for our times, times when anything and everything is permissible, when pushing boundaries is not only encouraged, it is expected.
“Slay The Moon” is all that and more. As HuffDaddy waxes lyrical, weighed down by thoughts of obsession and heartbreak, his message is both personal and universal, timeless yet relatable.
Anthemic, artistic….awesome!
