Setting the tone with a psychedelic and cerebral electro-pop soundscape, Hawk Jupiter and Lauren Davis opens their collaborative release, Dodging Arrows with intrigue, dimensionality, and a pristine vocal as Lauren sings, “You’re the one I dreamt about at night, you’re the one that I can’t leave behind…”
The opus expands with intentional and relatable prose, to take us on a dynamic journey with intricate sound design and unique sonic elements. Dodging Arrows is a fresh and eclectic track that showcases incredible production skill and a flawless dance vocal.
Hawk Jupiter masterfully fuses old-school house, disco, and an experimental breakdown, resulting in a sound that is both sublime and captivating. We also learn that beneath its moody, alternative front, lies a deep connection to Ireland’s rich mythological heritage, drawing inspiration from the iconic story of Deirdre of the Sorrows!
The myth of Deirdre of the Sorrows is a cornerstone of Irish folklore, chronicling a story of love, betrayal, entrapment, and self-determination. This timeless tale has resonated through generations, captivating audiences with its emotional depth. Dodging Arrows captures the essence of Deirdre’s journey, translating its dramatic and poignant themes into a contemporary musical format. The song’s creators have imbued it with a haunting yet dynamic energy, making it a standout in today’s music scene.
This is further brought to life by the music video, which is set for release next week. Filmed with a full cast and crew in Ireland, the video reimagines the ancient myth in a modern context. The visual is a cinematic masterpiece full of drama, incredible acting, and bringing to life the sonic dimensionality of Dodging Arrows perfectly!
We love what Hawk Jupiter is manifesting, and the full 360 degree output of his artistry, which is thought-provoking, neuroplasticity enhancing, and super enjoyable to experience. We have added Dodging Arrows to our New Music Spotlight playlist, and our TRIPPY playlist, whilst we anticipate the video and immerse ourselves in the talented creator’s wider discography including Oasis, and Almighty!
