song: "Don't Be Afraid" - So Many Wizards
On their newest single "Don't Be Afraid," So Many Wizards shakes up every notion or ideal we've ever held about their music. Every second of this track is unexpected, with the band fully unveiling a whole new identity. And while the track may be an introduction to something new, it's also a message to those listening, reminding us to face life or at least each day with as much courage as we can muster.
The track begins with sharp guitars, and soft-spoken instructions: "Don't be afraid." As time continues the song takes off; the vocals become more impassioned and confident, the instrumental backings gaini an added weight. Just when one thinks they have this single figured out, So Many Wizards deliver on another surprise — everything tumbles together, culminating in a furious finish that ends just as quickly as it started.
