Established rock band David Christ & The Apocalypse has built a soundscape rich in real hard-rock components, armed with their distinct thematic vision and a willingness to express their mind. David Christ & The Apocalypse undertake a new chapter in their journey with the release of their new album “1-800-HAPPY -NOW.” With this catchy new release, David Christ & The Apocalypse keep things honest and upfront.
“Autistic Genius” is the album’s first single and our personal favorite. What begins as moderately familiar quickly expands into musically amazing, immersive rock realms, capped off by a fantastic vocal lead that pays homage to the glam rock stars of good times.
It appeals for its snappy take on the rock sound of yesteryear, as well as the instant intrigue of the lyrics, and features a raw Rock n Roll build-up and captivating vocals that follow short, addicting lines and a basic melody to quickly connect.
“Autistic Genius,” composed of unusually raw layers ranging from the vast rhythm to the vocal prompts to the occasional crash of the drums, feeds into the David Christ & The Apocalypse sound while still seeming like an easy and timeless song; rocky yet compelling on a broader level.
This single and the album at large is the best illustration of this band’s collaborative musical effort and enthralling compositions.
