Brooklyn-based alt-rocker Moon Walker shares the title track ‘Out everywhere now’, along with its accompanying video from his experimental, timely third LP Apocalypticism due out October 20 and available for pre-order now here. On the title track, Moon Walker staunchly condemns anti-semitism with hard-hitting lyricism and relentless instrumentation to match. Plus, an all-new set of tour dates across the U.S. this Fall with support from Nordista Freeze are on sale now via listentomoonwalker.com/tour.
The project’s title track was written in response to the recent wave of anti-semitism brought on by people like Kanye West and Majorie Taylor Greene. The potent track emerged when the realization of just how deep anti-semitic rhetoric runs in America began to set in. With pounding drums and unwavering conviction, the rocker’s heartfelt message amplifies as the song unfolds. Revealing his personal connection to the track and its meaningful subject matter, Moon Walker says, “My family came to America during the Pogroms in the 20’s so I’m well aware of the horrific history that has plagued my ancestors. Since I was a kid, I’ve been made fun of for my hair and my nose and for looking ‘too Jewish.’ I have, however, never felt unsafe as a Jewish American.” Despite encountering anti-semitic graffiti in his neighborhood and his social media comments being flooded with anti-semitism and neo-nazis, Moon Walker is unafraid to embrace who he is and is committed to standing up against the dangerous vitriol that continuously plagues society.
The track’s accompanying music video, directed by frequent collaborator Madison McConnell, is a defiant commentary on the dangers of succumbing to the status quo and societal norms and seeks to stand up to and resist these harmful systems of oppression. McConnel says, “The “Apocalypticism” video embraces the duality with light and dark. The apocalypse is the victory of dark over light. The imagery used in the video starts with Harry and his alter ego. Harry’s alter ego or Mr. Hyde creates a virus using pieces from Harry as it slowly kills him. I also tried to juxtapose a vision of the dystopian world we live in with the delusions of many that there are no problems.”
