Munk Duane drops a sonic bang with static truth in his recent release “Falsify”

Boston-based exceptionally talented artist, producer, and composer Munk Duane is a genre-shifting maestro who masterfully showcases his distinctive artistry with passion and soulful synths in his gripping new single, “Falsify.” This track is a pivotal addition to his discography, marking a significant moment as it represents the culmination of a vibe and the final act in a musical journey that has spanned five years, garnered countless accolades, and even earned a Grammy nomination or two along the way.

From the initial pulse of retro-inspired synths to the final echoes of Duane’s evocative vocals, “Falsify” commands attention with its immersive soundscape and unapologetically incisive production. The song features a meticulous blend of lush, sophisticated lyricism and dynamic instrumentation that shines through like a flare amid dark falsehood, drawing listeners into Duane’s slick and razor-sharp songwriting, eliciting a cinematic experience that resonates deeply. Written, performed, and produced entirely by Duane, with mastering completed by Grammy-winning engineer Brian Lucey at Magic Garden in Los Angeles, famous for his work with artists such as Post Malone, The Black Keys, and Mac Miller.

Musically, “Falsify” boldly navigates the fine line between the sultry grooves of ’80s synth-pop and the raw edge of contemporary indie-soul. It honors vintage aesthetics while avoiding the pitfalls of nostalgia, effectively channeling influences reminiscent of Prince and The Weeknd, enriched by a politically aware perspective.

However, beneath the sonic sheen lies a fiery core: a lyrical critique of deception delivers a powerful commentary on the manipulative forces at play within media and political spheres. It examines the obfuscation inherent in corrupted narratives, presenting a nuanced protest that is both artful and direct. The lyrics reflect a tempered urgency, akin to a seasoned observer revealing uncomfortable truths.

With “Falsify,” Munk Duane not only closes a significant chapter in his artistic adventure but also incinerates the past, both literally and metaphorically, while delivering this profound track. It’s a fitting conclusion from an artist who maintains a steadfast commitment to authenticity, especially when addressing contentious issues.

Album Review

Paul Terry, Aptøsrs & Cellarscape unite on bold new album “Alternative Piano Club”

Combining his three artistic alter egos, Paul Terry presents an awe-inspiring new 12-track album, “Alternative Piano Club,” written in collaboration with Aptøsrs and Cellarscape. This is an album-length voyage of music that blends acoustic, rock, and piano-driven cinematic sounds.

Torn between this complex emotional spectrum, all the while the piano remains at its core throughout. Paul Terry opens his “Memento Mori (Chromogenic Phase)” contemplatively, creating a solemn, reflective mood. Cellarscape’s “Three Years Of Roses“ is warmer, whereas Aptøsrs’ “Questionnaires“ is much more textured as a large, sculptural post-rock.

“Dave’s Theme,” written by Paul Terry, musically expands the narrative with a touch of cinematic elevation that aligns well. “We Shape The Clouds” by Cellarscape is fluffy and heart-warming, “Writers Behind The Curtain” is somber, more narrative. We are all together in “A Place We Made,” an honest, intimate, emotionally grounded space.

The project contains vocal warmth and cultural depth in the song “This Is My Home“ by Silas Miami & Lana Crowster. Proceeding in a totally different direction is the stronger emotional clarity of Paul Terry’s acoustic storytelling on “Any Time You Want To Fly” and “No Sleep Has Come.” Cellarscape presents a wide, spacious atmospheric moment in “Cygnus,” while Aptøsrs ends with “Rust Mountain (Monochrome Piano Version),” a simple gem that brings the project full circle.

The mixing of Sam Okell and Adam Noble, the mastering of Alex Wharton and Robin Schmidt have, in many ways, brought their polish to it while still making it feel human. “Alternative Piano Club” is a work entity, where three musical personalities met and talk mind in the same emotional language.
