As the world of modern music continues to evolve, “Capitalocene” is a cerebral reflection of the world that now moves at a faster pace from Wes Carroll Confabulation. When the song is a reflection of the era it was composed in, then this song is a reflection of the times – perfect for anyone who enjoys music that is as thought provoking as it is groovy.
A jazz-infused and lyrical rendition, Wes Carroll’s “Capitalocene” explores the frenzied acceleration of capitalism’s effects on our planet. It’s not just a song, it’s a conversation, a conversation that provokes thought without stopping your foot tapping. The use of the term ‘Capitalocene’, a play on the Anthropocene, situates the track within a conversation about the human impact on geological and environmental change – a topic which is both weighty and timely and necessary.
The song’s musical composition is both funky and funky hip-hop, with elaborate drum patterns that definitely pay homage to the golden era of hip-hop. Carroll’s jazz training drips through all his phrases, with improvisational flourishes marking out the tight production, yielding intellectually satisfying and irresistibly danceable rhythms. The track captures urban energy, just as much as having an impact on the city’s streets under the night light, as it has in a poetry lounge.
This track isn’t simply playing music, it’s creating an ambience. Perfect for when you want something more than just a frenzy of activity, it’s a quiet walk in town that lets you think, maybe after dinner or late at night, as you ponder the direction in which society is headed. In its critical commentary and pure sound pleasure, “Capitalocene” is one of those curated collections one has to listen to while daring to think. It is for the head-nodders but it is also for the thinkers, dreamers and changemakers among us. Listen and participate in the dialogue.
Wes Carroll Confabulation delivers a track that demands attention. “Capitalocene” hits with precision and intent, inviting you to listen closely and catch every detail.
