Nothing to Learn

Download

We never learn. Despite history’s obvious lessons, we’re gonna just keep doing this over and over again, it would appear.

This track is the first of a new project with my longtime bandmate and collaborator Dave DeSimone.

The goal was to make something that sounded very different from my other work – so we applied a different process. Rather than a fully fleshed-out narrative, this song started as a small concept that Dave & I developed together.

Hope you like the result. Dave did all the production and made most of the creative decisions on arrangements and mixing. This overall sound was greatly enhanced by another longtime bandmate and collaborator, Peter Fernandez, who contributed a stunning bassline and synth pads.

“Nothing to Learn” is live on four platforms:

1. Bandcamp https://boezi.bandcamp.com/track/nothing-to-learn
2. Soundcloud https://soundcloud.com/boezi/nothing-to-learn
3. Subvert https://alpha.subvert.fm/boezi/tracks/nothing-to-learn
4. EVEN https://even.biz/r/nothing-to-learn

…and will launch on all streaming services (except Spotify) on 3/31.

Not sure what genre this fits into. A departure from my 80s-tinged alt-rock post-punk Americana, maybe this would be considered trip hop, glitch hop, or electroclash? Open to your categorizations.

One thing that remains the same is the message – I can’t change that about myself as an artist. I have to report on what I observe. It seems that we’re determined to allow a handful of sociopaths steer us straight down this path of intentional world destruction. I don’t understand it, I don’t accept it, and I don’t know what to do about it. This is my way of coping and hoping that those who need to hear it, will hear it. If this – or any of my work – awakens you, it’s a win. If you’re already awake, then my hope is that you feel seen and understood.
