With a fuzzy guitar chop that brings back memories of the first Black Keys record, indie-rocker Alex O'aiza drops a new single called Money. The message is perhaps self-evident, which is simply that corporations don’t love you. They just want your money.
It bears repeating, because as humans we look at everything through the lens of anthropomorphism. After all a corporation; a business; a government; these are all objects of our intellect. Why should they have power over us? And conversely, why do we imbue these deeply artificial institutions with the semblance of love, and security - especially when they do a horrible job at making us feel loved, and safe?
The steady pulse and a healthy dose of truth-telling transform this straight groove into a vital statement about life in a state of constant spin.
Mexican-American Alex O'aiza is a solo artist from Dallas, Texas with a mission to inspire power in the masses by encouraging them to become the change they want in their lives.
UPDATE: Alex reinvents this indie-rock burner as a showcase of his impressive artistic range. He teamed up with close friends, producer Santiago Holder, and guitarist/songwriter Alex Whitcomb, to create a fresh acoustic version of the song. "Money (Acoustic)" arrives with a cinematic black-and-white video, shot in the streets of Dallas, that perfectly matches the song’s melancholic vibe.
