From Sweden comes the absolutely amazing indie band Louis Pax with their latest musical creation, say hello to "this is not america (I heard it on the news)". With this refreshingly honest and insightful blend of melodies and lyrics, they give life to a tale that aims to explore the current state of affairs in the US. It's a track that invites us to think about our lives as citizens and realize that we are in our right to criticized what's going on while also working on resolving the issues we see on our day to day lives.
"this is not america (I heard it on the news)" isn't made to insult or point the finger but instead to really listen and appreciate the fact that we are not perfect but we can work towards getting as close as possible to that. It knows that claiming greatness all the time has numbed us to the palpable nature of our flaws, but know that we are indeed great, but in greatness we should be able to find acceptance and willingness to do better.
This is an amazing soundscape that offers catchy and inviting melodies mixed in with thoughtful and beautifully crafted verses that speak to us from the moment we press play. So listen closely and embrace the honest caress of the must-listen gem that is "this is not america (I heard it on the news)". Enjoy!
