Sentinel Events releases emotional, confessional alt-rock opus ‘Dinosaur Juice’!
Drawing from painful lived experiences of being hospitalized and fighting to stay alive, songwriter Garettt leads Sentinel Events on their latest album release, ‘Comorbidities’.
As the track cover darkly humors the whole gambit of terrifying experiences of having to surrender yourself to the medical system in order to survive whatever misfortune you’ve been diagnosed/treated for.
Garett brings Morrison onboard on the vocals for this raw, honest, piercing call to be seen, to be acknowledged for all the pain and suffering endured.
‘Dinosaur Juice’ opens onto heavy, brooding distortion guitar, immediately signaling an aura of dread and despair. Like when you’re walking out of the doctor’s office with some dreaded bad news. Angst-laden, layered vocals share the depths of anguish, balanced with razor wit and deadpan delivery.
The emotional tone is volatile, and emotions swell and bubble over into the cathartic chorus section. The hazy, hypnotic guitar rhythms return, like a drowsy shot of painkillers, temporarily numbing the pain. With each verse, the vocals express a conflicted view between resignation, ridiclule and resolve.
‘Dinosaur Juice’ has plenty of punch and emotional upheaval expressed in its themes and flows through intriguing transitions. Towards its conclusion, it meanders and ends up on a bright, upbeat tone, a beautiful arc, tempered with adventure and mystery.
For listeners of raw, emotionally honest alt-rock and anyone who’s had it rough in life, this is sure to resonate and strike a deep chord.
