Let me
introduce you to the "Montana
Musical Experiments Project" and the new album "It won't change a thing".
MMXP is a
one man project founded 1996 in Lund/Sweden by Alexander Ahlstrand.
Started
with home made tape recordings by using acoustic and unplugged electric guitars
and a Casio keyboard, he sold a couple of self-produced cassette demos at local
music stores in Lund. He then helped to form the psychedelic rock outfit
Soundescape which released 2 CDs and was also joining the DJ duo The Mantra Brothers
in 1999.
After
focusing on making art and animation Alexander released the single "No Liberty", a foretaste of the
album which I present to you today.
The album"It won't change a thing"
without exaggeration is nothing for a cozy summer night and that you can hear
on the side, rather, it requires the listener's full attention. It sounds like
a story being told, a story of protest and the fight against oppression in the
Trump era.
"The Choice We Make" is the start of a relentless billing with
society and everything that goes wrong today. And this fight against
oppression, paternalism and domineering rules runs through the entire album.
"Making Calls" is a song with a
sick bass line
a bit in
the Arabic style and it sounds like a call to a prayer.
"This little Piggy".. take a nurse rhyme, work with it and you get a
brilliant song with great lyrics.
"The Greater One" a song about Donald Trump and very
politic.
"No Trust" is about the political landscape in America and the feeling that nobody
can be trusted. An epic end of the album with a fantastic guitar solo.
These are
just a few songs from this fascinating album.
However, it is not that you lose hope for
improvement, it is rather an encourager who shows that it is always worthwhile
to stand up and fight for your rights and never lose hope.
An album
that is so completely different from everything I've heard so far and that will
certainly not only leave a lasting impression on me but everyone who hears this
impressive work
Get a
picture of this really brilliant album, listen and remember that we can only
change something if we stand together.
