Spiritual Oppression And Liberating Tunes Beauty In Chaos Reinvent Get Down Moses

Beauty In Chaos
Get Down Moses
Los Angeles

Formed in 2018 by Michael Ciravolo, the post-punk and avant-garde guitar player and music composer from Gene Loves Jezebel and Human Drama, Beauty In Chaos always seem to have something new just around the corner. This time it’s a cover song; the Joe Strummer original gets a new dress sense and an expertly novel reinterpretation. The band have found themselves working alongside serious culture with members of groups such as The Offspring, The Cure, Ministry, Van Halen, Ice T, and so many more. This time, their music has been recorded with the help of Michael Rozon, of Ministry, Jarboe, and Wayne Hussey credit. He not only plays on the record, but he also produced it. The B-side of the single is another cover, one that was popularised by Johnny Cash. His cousin Tish Ciravolo, and Whitney Tye feature on vocals for Get down Moses and God’s Gonna Cut You Down, a traditional gospel number. Mixing religion with gothic aesthetic is always an interesting experiment, and in the Chaos we can always decipher Beauty. That’s my God in a nutshell.

Static and sound blur reality before a choppy blues lick begins the piece. Blasts of band and bass lift the muse from the melody and then a progressive surge begins. Reggae style off-beat chord strikes mingle with horns and a pump of bass that marches us into Jericho. A shimmering effervescence decorates the sleek musicianship; a dramatic soup of harmony and pulse pours with warmth and good taste. The catchy and uplifting song delivers a laid-back and adventurous drive through emotional clarity with a biblical theme. They’ve paid the ultimate respect to Joe Strummer, a soulful and fully felt performance with very little in the way of chaos, perhaps it’s an invitation to check out the rest of his work.

Kiss Me Goodbye With Beauty In Chaos And Julian Shah-Tayler Soars Over The Gloom

Beauty In Chaos
Kiss Me (Goodbye) Feat. Julian Shah-Tayler
33.3 Music Collective

Joining forces from across the Atlantic, US artist Beauty In Chaos has collaborated with UK singer Julian Shah-Tayler. Between LA and Wales something desirable and intriguing has manifested from this comparison of composition. Putting it all together and aligning the atmospheres, Pete Parada (The Offspring, Face To Face) added his drums to complete the trinity. The track is accompanied by a glorious video made by Industrialism Films’ Vincente Cordero. A step forward from the recent album, Behind The Veil, production skills from Grammy nominee Michael Rozon add an extra twinkle of goth-gaze and dream-void to the creation.

A roar of guitar growls into the music as drums and synth decide on the atmosphere to follow. Haunting harmonies plunge through the rock sensation as the rhythm hits the bass on precise tones. A classic rock style vocal begins to push a feeling of good time parties as the uplifting rhythm kicks in with each inflection of chorus and verse. A hazy blissed out sense of drive hangs poignantly in the motion as powerful guitars enchant the sweeping bars with dashing distortions. A blur of gothic sensibility and power-pop spruce forms a double-helix of reproductive creativity, inspirational and motivational. The tune merges through a semblance of clarity as each chorus hits home and original sounding guitar licks meet vibrant synths as the song out-does itself.

Spooky And Seductive Beauty In Chaos With Bloodletting Gets The Pulse Racing (If You Have One)

Beauty In Chaos
Bloodletting (The Vampire Song)
33.3 Music Collective

Released on Halloween 22 and frankly suitable for any time of the year, alternative rockers Beauty In Chaos bring the flavour of gothic and darkly happenings to their well-loved sound. Taking a New Orleans approach to the Concrete Blonde song Bloodletting, the Beauty In Chaos method brings the original to new heights. To get the perfect sound for the record, New Orleans accented curator Michael Ciravolo took the lead vocal. The saxophone spot was purposefully picked by Ciravolo and features the timeless ability of Mars Williams of The Psychedelic Furs.

A sinister wail of metallic feedback swirls from the dusky shadows as a barrage of drums accompanies the groove of a sleek saxophone. A crash of the band brings distorted guitars and synths to the mix with a punch and a kick that makes us move. Spooky lyrics then begin to tell the story and bring imagery of vampirism and bloodlust. An enchanting dreamscape of fantasy and darkness curdles in the soundwaves as the band elevate the shimmering harmonies built up by the adjacent and lush tone of the sax.

Beauty In Chaos
Featuring Tish Ciravolo
Afterlife
Los Angeles

Always bringing something fresh and inventive to their sound, the shifting sands of membership with Beauty In Chaos means fans are always treated to new directions. Of course, the ultimate ethic of the ground remains the same, great music with a range of influences such as The Cure, Echobelly, Blushing, Cocteau Twins, and Kiss Of The World bring a host of feelings and styles to their releases. This single is a taster from the star-studded upcoming album and has been produced, mixed, and recorded by Grammy nominee Michael Rozon.

Bass and drums launch the music into a moody swagger as the flow rises through string synths and a persistent groove. An atmosphere of strange and alluring reaches in as the lyrics reveal reverb and feminine energy. A delivery similar to Ladytron gives an electronic edge to the folk influenced melody that moves like serpentine spectres. Sudden pulses with the rhythm leave huge spaces for the words to dance and illuminate with their timbre and meaning. A tapestry of instruments weaves tuneful ambience between the sturdy tempo that surges forward.
