Eddie Cohn is back with another new release, and it’s powerful! “Weight of the World” is the latest from amazing artist, Eddie Cohn and it’s a powerhouse! Cohn has developed a distinctive sound blending acoustic and electric elements, working with LA musicians Jake Reed and Sean Hurley, as well as Brett Farkas, Phil Peterson and Kevin Penner.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This work is a tribute to the influences of Soundgarden, Nirvana, Tom Petty and Beck and continues a discography founded in emotional honesty. It\u2019s an alternative indie-rock tune that embraces an unplugged vibe, eschewing heavy production in favor of the natural resonance of the instruments and the unadulterated power of the human voice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The song\u2019s repetitive acoustic energy forms the backbone, acting as a heartbeat that drives the motion forward and gives space for deeper frequencies to breathe. In this stripped-down arrangement, the emotional impact is at its most, the musical layers cloaking the vocal presence like a protecting mantle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The vocals are the song\u2019s main feature and have a gritty, soulful quality \u2013 preferring emotional truth to technical excellence. The harmonies underpin the performance, acting as a kind of spectral mirror, giving the impression of several levels of one consciousness speaking at once in a three-dimensional soundscape. There is an audible agony in the higher registers and a resonating deep note.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
