Having something new every day is fun and refreshing, but how long can you keep up trying to get the latest update constantly? This is what “New Waves,” Montazona’s latest project, is all about. Through some trippy rock and emotional vocals, Montazona reflects on the nature of trends.
Montazona is the name Marius Britt has chosen to present his latest music project. This surprising multi-instrumentalist singer and producer has worked his entire life to craft his signature sound. He has gone from learning how to play guitar and piano when he was a toddler to exploring the drums when he was a teenager. When he still was in high school, he initiated into production with only a pair of headphones, one microphone, and a laptop to craft what would be his first album, “Room 135.”
Recently, Montazona has released a new track titled “New Waves.” The song evidences the artist’s talent for creating emotional soundscapes with the use of psychedelic guitar lines, driving drums, and the power of his own voice. In this case, though, it is the trippy synthesizers that mark the melody of the song. The upbeat track immerses the listeners into numbness in which the speed of things paralyzes the senses until it is impossible to even enjoy one before the next is already in front of you.
The spark of inspiration for “New Waves” is in the desire for constant novelty as a synonym for a cool lifestyle. Montazona conceived the song soon after the artist had to move to Los Angeles. He admits he was shocked at the speed with which things move in LA, and how it was for a person like him to assimilate everything that was happening. He says, “I like to take my time and be thoughtful in almost every aspect of my life, so it was a big adjustment for me.”
Through its lyrics, “New Waves” transmits the urgency of jumping into the next big thing. However, this hurry is not insufficient, since it is already time to pass to the next thing. With poetic and wise verses, the artist questions the excitement and pleasure of riding these new waves in the shape of absurd trends and affirms, “You can’t take a deep breath / When you’re lost in the ocean.” His final goal is to challenge people to appreciate the full essence of things beyond what it might be new or popular.
“New Waves” is a testament to Montazona’s innovative approach to music. His latest song is not only a wonderful example of his talent as a musician and producer, but it is also an invitation to reflection and appreciation for the smallest things in life.
