Especially in this shithole year. It's always nice to hear and see what a bunch of "woken up" humans (versus woke, which is something totally different, of course) think about this present age. I have obviously drawn my own conclusions about this time, but BOC do it in a far more interesting and unique way.
Each of their albums have a specific theme and when reading interviews from around the time of each album release it is obvious that their music output is a reflection of at least a part of the mindset they had around that time period. Around TH the interviews had a bit of a nihilistic undertone for sure. For me personally there was quite a significant period where I subscribed to a very nihilistic worldview. I think this is actually part of waking up, like a part of the process, and I really think once people outgrow that phase something beautiful arises out of that.
This is why I have some expectation that the next album is going to be a whole lot more uplifting. And finally, despite all the things happening in the world right now, for some of us this year is actually been really great so far. It's a great time for learning that's for sure. Sow now and reap the benefits later, for Tomorrow's Harvest is gonna be a good one
Next spring would be the perfect time for a new encouraging BoC.
