“fresh and organic” Black Martian – Big Butts Not Big Mouths
The track has a musical backdrop that brings a good energy and vibe to the room. The instrumentation has a live, big band sort of feel to it – the sax, the keys, the clap of the beat, and in many ways the melody and the harmonies add a lot to this overall effect. The key melody or hook of the track also has a live sounding ambiance to it, and the melody and the leading line undoubtedly work well together to create something that stays with you long after listening.
The underlying concept or inspiration for the song is hopefully directed at a preference for not talking trash, if so the entire energy of the track reflects a positivity that works well alongside of this. If you’re a fan of the sound, it’s likely you’ll seek out more music from those involved – there’s a lot that is fairly fresh and organic about this sound and it stands out and holds great appeal right now. You can picture a live show with ease, and of course the more you listen, the more songs you discover, the more you get a clearer picture of what the artist or songwriter behind it is all about.
The music sounds joyful, the rhythm is lightly upbeat and easy to get into, and the rhythm of the hook is another part of what makes it last so long after listening. It has an outdoorsy sort of ambiance and this draws relevance to the upcoming, brighter seasons, so it’s a great time to be listening. The song is a lot of fun, and there’s always room for that in music – the whole point of music in most cases is to provide an escape from the mundane or stressful, which this particular track does well.
