the kraken

click to play the kraken

song: the kraken
band: teen plant
music/lyrics/lead vox: me
notes: one of teen plant’s two songs about a mythical sea creature, this song starts out as a stadium rock anthem, then enters Party Mode, progressing ultimately to Extreme Party Mode. in this sense, it is like an encounter with the kraken itself: initially bewildering, ultimately an exploration of notions of familiarity and context. the Other has become the Self.
