A driving slab of rhythm guitars and atmospheric leads topped by moody, ethereal vocals, the song freed the dragon Hunter had been chasing. Moodring’s Eureka moment came with ‘Gasoline’. Once we’d tapped the right vein, the sound just started to gush from us.” But when we are writing music for Moodring, we feel a different level of focus. “We were searching for the sound in our heads,” says Hunter. “In modern life, we all struggle to stop, to be still I know that there are few things that can hold my attention for very long. Yet, despite all this musical promiscuity, it wasn’t until May of 2019 that they finally found the vehicle that could carry forth their most authentic creative selves. That’s what we aspire to with our band, to create songs that can transcend any scene.”īetween them, the members of Moodring – Young, guitarist Sean Dolich, drummer Lindy Harter and bassist Kalan Blehm – have a musical rap sheet longer than any of them care to recall. “I grew up on the alternative bands of the 1990s,” says frontman Hunter Young “No matter what new interests might come and go, I am forever drawn back to the classic albums of that era they feel larger than life, not bound to a fad or trend – timeless. His image as an artist is to be admired, in which the new single reflects that picture.Forged in a furnace of experience, experimentation and existential crisis, Moodring is an entity orbiting a lone, core ambition: to create music with no ceiling. Yelawolf is a breath of fresh-air within Hip-Hop and just what lifelong fans of Shady Records have been waiting for. This is something I hope to see as we near the release of ‘Love Story’ (not to forget the ‘Shady XV’ album due next month!). My one personal bone to pick with ‘Till It’s Gone’ is I still don’t feel we have witnessed Yelawolf jump into ‘Trunk Muzik’ mode (on a solo effort) since his Shady 2.0 reign began. The country sounding instrumental (produced by WLPWR) shows Yelawolf aims to stay true to his country roots, something we can expect to reflect within the album. His use of words and capability to switch from a jagged edge flow to a harmony you’d even catch your Pop Star loving girlfriend humming along to. ‘Till It’s Gone’ reminds me as to why I found Yelawolf’s music so appealing in the first place. Over the course of 2014, Yelawolf has started to creep back into the limelight in preparation for his second studio album ‘Love Story’, we have been teased with the commercial attempt ‘Honey Brown’ and the fan favourite ‘Box Chevy V’, but here comes the first single ‘Till It’s Gone’… Yet Yela continued to please fans and critics alike with a number of solo mixtapes (Trunk Muzik Returns) and collaborative efforts (Psycho White with Travis Barker, Black Fall with DJ Paul) to feed the underground Hip-Hop scene. Rumors and speculation flooded the Net that Yelawolf was frustrated with Shady and their lack of enthusiasm to drop his material.
Bobby dropped his long overdue debut album ‘Radioactive’ which was met with a variety of feedback “It’s good but it’s not Trunk Muzik” was a comment I heard amongst the blogs and YouTube comments.
To some Yelawolf’s career resembles a Theme Park ride his rise into the lime light for being the South’s answer to Eminem with his rapid flow, creative word play and broad subject matter made him a fan favorite that landed him a spot on the acclaimed XXL Freshman List of 2011.Ģ011 seemed to the Year of the Wolf, in which the Alabama native signed a record deal with Shady Records as the New Year rolled in, joining forces with Slaughterhouse, 50 Cent (at the time) and D-12.
