MP3: Wow & Flutter - "Scars"
A real head-bopper that's rough around the edges and raw enough for the reality of the song to shine through. It's this genuineness that lends itself to the truth of the song's message. With energetic rumble, "Scars" tells us not to hide from the past, but to instead embrace it. The cuts and bruises, the mistakes of the past are nothing to hide from. What Wow & Flutter tell us is that these are things we should be proud of. Nothing should be embarrassing, because if it's part of our past, it's helped get us to this point in the present. In its own way, it's a life-affirming song that provides the confidence to be proud of who we are, because without the foundation of our past, we wouldn't be standing today. Enjoy life, don't hide from it. The confident burst of Sonic Youth/Sebadoh-style guitars and the spur of bass and drums help push this message to the forefront.
Wow & Flutter is taken from a term that refers to analog tape fluctuation, in case you were wondering.
"Scars" is from Wow & Flutter's new album, Equilibrio!, out October 19th on Mt. Fuji Records. The word "Equilibrio" is Italian for "balance." Truly a band that's inspiring and wants to make life more enjoyable! Preorder the album here.
