My Music Episode 228 - Rev. Billy Simmons (Evidence Of A Struggle)

<p>Chicago-based Evidence of a Struggle presents &#39;Bisquee&#39;, the moody oscillating third single from their forthcoming 13-track eponymous album, to be released on June 9. The accompanying video is the newest offering from a six-chapter audio-visual storybook, created by Chicago artist John Airo, who has been involved with this project since the outset - creating videos, album covers and accompanying visuals for live performances. This engaging off-kilter post-rock offering follows the cinematic debut single &#39;Do&#39;Oa&#39;, a wonderful fusion of Tortoise and Dif Juz, and &#39;Alan&#39;s Song&#39; - the sound of fear, beauty and hubris. The sound of a beautifully crumbling grand distraction. Surrounding the musings of multi-instrumentalist William P C Simmons V a.k.a. Rev. Billy Simmons, Evidence of a Struggle is an evolving group of artists and musicians whose sonic creations may lead you to the center of the darkness or just might unfurl the universe before you with lush, cinematic, beautiful, and sometimes chaotic compositions. Evidence of a Struggle began in 2020 during lockdowns. This ambitious effort sees Rev. Billy play every instrument – guitar, drums, piano, synth and violin - recorded and engineered from his home studio, The Glue Factory. With Covid restrictions lifted, he began working with Sanford Parker (Voivod, Russian Circles, Yob, Eyehategod, Wovenhand, Darkthrone, Youth Code, Pelican), who helped produce and record the final versions of the songs for this record, as well as mastering. <a href="https://www.youtube.com/hashtag/newmusic" rel="nofollow">#NewMusic</a> <a href="https://www.youtube.com/hashtag/storytelling" rel="nofollow">#StoryTelling</a> <a href="https://www.youtube.com/hashtag/interview" rel="nofollow">#Interview</a> <a href="https://www.youtube.com/hashtag/live" rel="nofollow">#Live</a></p>
