Brooklyn Indie Artists Release New Years Inspired Song '11:59'
by Q Review Staff
Brooklyn’s indie-electronica darlings Exnations definitely know how to start a year off. New track ‘11:59’ arrived on New Year’s Day as no mere coincidence. The song is a cleverly constructed ode to those final moments before the clock strikes at midnight ushering in a new year.
In those moments leading up, reflection and emotion play a heavy role and that is precisely the driving force of ‘11:59’. New Year’s imagery swirls throughout the lulling synth sounds as we hear the words "You barely held on this year" which will strike several chords with listeners who go into the annual change over looking back on the challenges.
The song is not a party anthem. It’s filled with an atmospheric build that gives it an almost cinematic quality, as if you’re sitting alone in a dark theatre watching the trailer for an epic drama of struggle and triumph. Quiet though it may be, by the end you feel the revelry and are filled with the energy from the turning moment that whispers to you...you’re not alone in this.
‘11:59’ forces us to look back on the challenges yes, but also towards a different tomorrow.
