The Oreaganomics “And Introducing…..Shane!!!” Album: A Raw and Defiant Musical Statement
With a sound that is among the most challenging, the album is an unforgettable mark that Lincoln-based Oreaganomics left with their "And Introducing...Shane!!!" record. In 10 tracks, it tells a really personal story. Coming from a milieu of sheer musical rebellion and social commentary, Oreaganomics weaves frustration, wit, and resilience into a project meant to be felt.
"And Introducing ..... Shane!!" trendily mingles with folk and modern alternative rock while accentuating the warmth of protest-voiced music from Singer Labi Siffre. Expect a barrage of enticing melodies trodden by sharply sensey lyrics wound up with awkward swoops of moods. Everything strikes with a sense of urgency, reflecting the burning issues of this world from agonized acoustic moments adorned with chaos.
Topics on the album reflect the socio-economic state of affairs today, surrounding financial woes, disillusionment, and artistic tenacity. Oreaganomics does not mince their words on working three jobs to just get by, something with which quite many people can empathize. This "what-the-f---" album, as the band so affectionately labels it, marks a protest of such variety, leading to remarkable safety valves for that anger built-up.
"And Introducing.....shane!!!" is no glamorous album; it was done in a basement with the internet unreliable at times, underscoring the perseverance of Do It Yourself artists who are dedicated enough to keep on working for their passions to thrive amid such imperfect conditions. It developed a distinctly nice appeal, paradoxically hard to pigeonhole. The band comically stated that the relationships were kind of strained because of the effort toward making the project happen, but it was worth it in the end.
"And Introducing.....shane!!!" is loud, daring, and completely unapologetically real. This is the kind of album that gets respect from the insiders but fear from them because of its path beyond boundaries into discomfort. It is an album unmistakably made for you.
