‘the march afternoons aren’t real’ by The March Afternoons | Album Premiere
Exclusive album premiere of ‘the march afternoons aren’t real’ by The March Afternoons, slated for release on June 18, 2024.
‘the march afternoons aren’t real’ marks a daring and introspective venture by The March Afternoons, a band known for their avant-garde approach and enigmatic presence in the psychedelic music scene. As described by the band themselves, “they spontaneously created themselves from a collection of abstract thoughts…left to be blown around the ether by the fickle winds of change.” This sense of existential fluidity and self-sabotage is vividly felt throughout the album, creating a unique listening experience that challenges the conventional boundaries of “popular” music.
The album is a deliberate act of self-dissolution, a journey towards nothingness, articulated through haunting melodies and dissonant harmonies. Each track feels like a step further into the void, embracing indifference and obscurity as a form of artistic expression. It’s a poignant commentary on the music industry, where, as the band poignantly observes, one can “toil so hard for so long…only to be met with utter indifference and zero financial reward.”
From the ethereal opening notes to the melancholic closing whispers, ‘the march afternoons aren’t real’ is a testament to the band’s commitment to achieving “sweet nothing” through their art. It’s an album that doesn’t seek to please or conform but rather to exist in its own transient reality. The band’s struggle against self-amalgamation and their quest for dissolution is not just a theme but a palpable force driving the music.
For those willing to delve into the depths of existential despair and sonic abstraction, this album offers a profound and unsettling experience. As The March Afternoons muse, “It’s like we don’t exist already… Surely the nothing will envelop us soon.” This is not just music; it’s a philosophical exploration of existence, identity, and the ultimate embrace of nothingness. In the end, one can’t help but wonder: is this the end, or merely a new beginning?
