I have to admit, I was in Hoax’s top 1% of listeners on apple music last year. And I am very proud of that fact; I love this indie band. What I love most about them is the pure poetry of their lyrics, and their willingness to deeply examine their emotions about a wide variety of topics, from death to what exactly love is and pair it with dreamy vocals,as they do on their newest single, “Into The Blackhole”. This song starts off with light acoustic guitar strums, which quickly turn into tenacious electric guitar chords,which then give way to the bands musing on what they once thought love was like. Once the hook comes in, the vocal delivery noticeably changes along with the guitar and drums, singing “Its you/All i want/ All i need”. These lines are delivered with a sort of angst, and intensity, lending to the passionate center of the track. You will definitely find yourself singing along, as I did, thinking about that old flame. On the second verse, the lines “Into the blackhole/ The only place we go to know that we’re fully alone” shows Hoax’s ability to continue to imagine and paint emotional landscapes beyond what we may see or think were tangible, in a uniquely soulful way.
I look forward to more music from them. Side note: This is one of the bands that I would love to see live. Listen here: https://open.spotify.com/track/62dIc92wJsmNNEiMYTmDjG?si=58af8d9487d94e2c
