More than just a gifted storyteller, he also has a phenomenal ear for production that helps to take this project to another level. It’s a cohesive, poignant, and incredible piece of art that serves as a searing look at the world we all live in today.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e“This album and film weren’t about cheap moralism or heady preaching, it's a very simple idea of confronting who we are, and who we are affects the world around us,” Motown Priest explains. “This is where \u003cem\u003eHawthorne\u003c\/em\u003e, in both music and film, connects.”\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHe’s true to his word, too, because the album’s 12 tracks bang just as hard as they make you think. They’re the type of songs you can sit with and unpack, or you can blast them at full volume to make your system rattle—or both.??\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTracks like “For Sale” and “The Calogero Effect” boast soulful, nostalgic production that fits their more meditative narratives of succumbing to vices and childhood innocence. On the other hand, “Pandora’s Box” straight-up slaps thanks to its distorted guitars and live drums, while “New Religion” is an aggressive, teeth-gritting banger.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt’s all part of Motown Priest’s plan to fully engage with his audience while delivering one of the year’s best releases, regardless of genre and medium. In addition to the album, \u003cem\u003eHawthorne\u003c\/em\u003e exists as a short film that further explores many of the same themes (ceaseless desire, identity, and capitalism) through the visual format. Within its 35-minute runtime, the film follows the same protagonist as the album, a young man who seeks change and fulfillment but doesn’t consider the pain and damage he causes along the way. It makes for a damning look at so many cultural ills, and it couldn’t have arrived at a more fitting time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTracklist:?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSide A-“Blood”:\u003cbr\u003e1 Great Depression (Intro) \u003cbr\u003e2 Pandora's Box \u003cbr\u003e3 The Calogero Effect \u003cbr\u003e4 Farewell to Welfare \u003cbr\u003e5 Employee of the Month\u003cbr\u003e6 New Religion \u003cbr\u003e7 Nathaniel's Mask (Interlude)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSide B-“Money”: \u003cbr\u003e8 For Sale\u003cbr\u003e9 Alphabeta \u003cbr\u003e10 Trials \u003cbr\u003e11 Dreams, and Stories to Tell \u003cbr\u003e12 The Drug Money Theory \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e?\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Motown Priest","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53853248323927,"sku":"ZZ-BRK191G-LP","price":7.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0983\/1104\/5463\/files\/BRICK191_00.jpg?v=1782185066","url":"https:\/\/www.discotecavinyl.com\/products\/hawthorne-colored-lp","provider":"My Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
