(antiMusic) Welcome to Singled Out where we ask artists to tell us a little bit about their latest single. Today we pleased to present antiMusic favorite's Bigelf. Both Ace and Damon give us the inside story to "Money, It's Pure Evil," the first single from their new album 'Cheat the Gallows'. Here they are:Ace: ["Money, It's Pure Evil"] the is the first single off the album. It only has two parts, and sometimes that's all you really need. The lyrics are about what great power money has these days, how it affects people, and how the whole world is turning around it... whether we like it or not. The lyrics are really straight forward, with a very simple theme which touches and affects everybody living in the modern world.
Damon: Originally released on "Hex", this was literally a last minute recording featuring an impromptu live piano and vocal performance. The band liked the tune so much, we arranged it and started played it live. When it came time to record "Gallows", we felt the song was worthy enough to give it another go...low and behold, we did and it became the first single! Lyrics are the key to this song and they are constantly relevant and reoccurring in my life. Unfortunately, people never disappoint me.
If you've never heard Bigelf, do yourself a favor and stop what you are doing and go have a taste. They are definitely one cure for the generic emo rock that is plaguing music these days. Check out the brand new video for this track and download a FREE MP3 of it
