Progressive Trio SOURCE Release New Track "Stimulus"
SOURCE present "Stimulus," the first single offering from the forthcoming 5th studio album. Rooted sonically in heavy psychedelic prog rock and thematically in introspection, "Stimulus" brings intensity, electronics and an industrial touch.
Lyrically, "'Stimulus' speaks to experiencing symptoms of ADHD and Autism. It tells the story of a stimulus addicted brain that struggles with stillness". The band explain. "['Stimulus'] also speaks largely to post-tour depression. Touring is such a constant, stimulating, exciting, terrifying, inspiring experience compared to regular life at home. This song tells the story of learning to go on tour and come back home while appreciating every aspect of the journey".
On the sound and arrangement of "Stimulus," SOURCE shares:
"It starts with fat, crunchy electronic percussion with a flavor of NIN industrial sounds which transition flawlessly into the opening chorus with a killer fill on drum kit. This is the first time in any Source song that we’ve started with a chorus. We wanted the song to fit a more traditional arrangement format while always progressing and being stimulating."
Musically, "Stimulus" carries movement and energy alongside a distinctly textural arrangement of instrumental and electronic layers. From psychedelic granular vocal delays and electronic percussion to metallic glitches and an enticing melodic bass line, the track consistently introduces and develops moments of interest.
