Seattle's
THE DARK RED SEED are set to release their new album "Becomes Awake" on May
18th 2018. The band which is the musical outlet of Tosten Larson,
guitarist for Seattle dark folk musician King Dude is an amazing
combo of dark folk and heavy psych music and today we premiere their song
"Dukkha".
Tosten commented:
“Dukkha” was not the first song written for the
“Becomes Awake” album but it was written intentionally as the starting point of
our story. Instrumentally it is supposed to be big and loud and
chaotic. The bridge is meant to have a dissonant, uncomfortable chord progression
with saxophones, Synths and guitars blaring all around. The verse and
chorus section is vaguely inspired by an similar chaotic At the Drive In song I
heard many years ago. “Dukkha” doesn’t actually sound like the song it
was inspired by but rather I wanted to create a jarring angular feeling I got
when I first heard the At the Drive In song. The reason for all the chaos
and stress the song should invoke is because that is what the song is about and
that is where the journey of this story begins. “Dukkha” translates to
pain and suffering. In this case my interpretation of” Dukkha” could be
seen as experienced by unchecked hedonism causing a life out of balance.”
