Attempting to keep pace with the musical output of John Beckmann is an impossible task…and that’s just one of the reasons why we love him here at Mesmerized. Performing under the moniker of Mortal Prophets, John has gifted us (and the world) some of the most intriguing sonic landscapes we’ve ever come across.
‘New Breed’ is his brand new offering, and once again John shakes things up. A kaleidoscopic fusion of electronic post-punk and psychedelic rock, the high-energy and exhilarating tune is deeply hypnotic. Showcasing Beckmann’s unparalleled ability to merge diverse genres and sounds, ‘New Breed’ further cements the artist’s status as a fearless musical innovator who refuses to play by the rules.
Mastered by Grammy-award-winning engineer Joe LaPorta, (David Bowie, Foo Fighters, Beach House) the 176 bpm track pulsates with a mesmerizing rhythm that sucks you in and refuses to let go. Accompanied by intricate and echoey vocal chanting, it’s yet another song that pushes the very limits of sonic exploration.
Finding myself running out of superlatives to describe the work of John Beckmann, I can only marvel at the brilliance of ‘New Breed’ and the musician’s boundless creativity. As always, we can’t wait to hear what he gets up to next!
