(PR) Integrating pop melodies with socially voyeuristic lyrics in Kurt Vonnegut style prose, Boston-based band, The Motion Sick, leaves you thinking beyond usual romance parameters with their second CD release, The truth will catch you, just wait
, due out January 1, 2008.Lead singer, Mike Epstein, observes, Vonnegut approaches almost all of his stories with a sort of self-deprecating confession of the whole plot right away and then weaves together the revealed pieces. You're never really reading the book waiting to see what happens, but rather waiting to see how it happens. The tone of his wit is something I admire and strive for and his narrative writing fits with the fatalist concepts in many of our recent songs. Never too serious with the weighty subject matter of their often unconventional musical themes, however, the band remains profoundly simple in the melodic nods to their literary muses and societal inspirations. Songs like "Jean-Paul," a schizophrenic, splintered conversation on the murder of French revolutionary Jean-Paul Marat, reside comfortably next to "30 Lives," a ba-ba-ba filled ditty in which the protagonist utilizes a video game code to spend 30 lives with his partner.
