i just got ahold of mike xvx's new album, 'rewild'. it doesn't have as much catchiness as his first album BUT what it does have is passion, intimacy and raw emotion. it continues on themes of animal liberation, feminism, and general freedom in a way which reaches a wider audience than the general seven generations and gather fans, but keeps to it's roots.
I feel a lot more from this album.
Before it actually came out one of it's tracks titled "i'm not afraid to admit that i need help" found me in a hard spot one night. it was before i actually talked to him on a more regular basis but it was a time when i felt alone, not that i didn't think that anyone else didn't feel the way that i did, but that i had never heard it before.
the first couple chapters in my novel Naomi are heavily influenced by his music.
i recommend getting ahold of his music to anyone who's looking for a little more meaning in their lives
my favorite tracks are : "my favorite place" and "that night i dreamed of arson"
