"Wacker Oxidation" is the last track off of Super Earth's recently released album "Advertisement State" (2021). From the onset it pushes against you with a veritable guitar engine of sound like gears turning, staccato palm muted clicks and turns and equally pushed out vox, from the gut courtesy of Lexington, KY. multi-instrumentalist Micah Birch. I expected the progressive nature to get more jammy and heavy but counter intuitively (and much to my delight) it slams on the breaks with half time jangly guitars and falls into a deeply dreamy and psychedelic hole as Birch shows off tender wails and rich falsettos.
Birch works with a sort of rolling collective of musicians and vocalists so I am not sure how much is him on this track but I suspect a lot. Whatever the case, he is at the helm and "Wacker Oxidation" feels like a surreal fall, into what I am not sure, but the fall is thrilling.
Of the track he says: "This song is about the finiteness of life, the fleeting moments of joy, love and empathy that humans can share with each other, as well as fears, anxieties and pain, encompassing the broad spectrum of existence on this planet. Simply put, it is about acceptance."
Hope you fall hard too.
