Orwax's latest single, "Everything's Addictive," captures an honest vibe that resonates deeply. This track marks the first release from their upcoming album, "Disorderstar," and it's inspired by a moment of insight Ryan Moran experienced in his early 20s, the realization that "everything's addictive."
Recorded at More Sound Studios in Syracuse, New York, "Everything's Addictive" showcases a mix of haunting vocals and energetic instrumentation featuring guitars, synthesizers, and drums. The powerful guitar work and precise drumming drive the song forward, creating an intense listening experience. The music grabs your attention and doesn't let go. It weaves together feelings of tension and harmony, reflecting the complexities of human emotions and touching on themes of beauty and everything in between. Ryan Moran explores addiction in a broader sense, illustrating how desire can influence various aspects of life, including power, love, and creativity. There's a sense of weariness in the lyrics but also an excitement about rediscovering old thoughts. That idea scratched down years ago? It not only inspired this music, it became a guiding principle for the band. The sound is both hazy and sharp, reminiscent of looking through water.
While the track draws on elements of alternative and psychedelic rock, Orwax isn't just mimicking the past. Instead, they've created something fresh and uniquely their own, a blend of rough edges and profound emotions. In a rapidly changing world, "Everything's Addictive" lands softly yet powerfully, delivering a message that even amidst chaos, there can be clarity. Sometimes, the thoughts we hurriedly write down can lead to the most impactful music.
