MOTIHARI BRIGADE: New single - "Algorithm & Blues"
[2022-08-31]
The title track from Motihari Brigade’s new album “Algorithm & Blues” (release date: September 8, 2022) raucously competes for any remaining crumbs of attention span still left available despite an onslaught from big-tech dominated media censors. Vibrato electric guitars drive this hyper-caffeinated exploration of the current dystopian dilemma. “Algorithm & Blues” is a rock-n-roll thoughtcrime celebration of the post-modern psychological crisis we are all now busily sharing on social media. Lyrics describe a “consciousness of memes” vying to define the prevailing narrative of today’s virtual reality - “the illusion of freewill, swallowing the pill.” The song ends with a nod to rock music's history of cultural defiance - "meanwhile I'm still thinking."

Lyrics:
**********************************************************
There is no more beautiful thing
Than the swan that’s unpredicted
The improvised creation
The standard deviation
The fire out of control
When the actor breaks the role
Random human error
Down the rabbit hole
Algorithm & Blues
Algorithm & Blues
There’s no big idea like
The improvised creation
The rejected assumption
The abandoned presumption
Mis-informed and confused
Optimized to amuse
A story made of dreams
A consciousness of memes
Algorithm & Blues
Algorithm & Blues
Is this what we believe
Or is this what we know
Is this who we are
Or is this what we show
Sanctioning the voices
Curating the choices
Digging in the data mine
Enforcing the party line
A sponsored solution
A color revolution
Algorithm & Blues
Algorithm & Blues
We are our own oppressors
We are are own confessors
Promoted and approved
Existing or removed
A pattern recognition
Ranked in position
Tracked and observed
A server that is served
Algorithm & Blues
Algorithm & Blues
Following the thread
Mistaken and mislead
Anger and division
Reward and revision
Addictive duress
Encouraged and suppressed
Monitored expression
Internalized repression
Illusion of freewill
Swallowing the pill
Algorithm & Blues
Algorithm & Blues
Algorithm & Blues
Algorithm & Blues
Meanwhile I’m still thinking
