Roxercat’s “2020” is aching, operatic, and daunting all at once. The cinematic experiential journey hauntingly accurately portrays through music the tumultuous nature that that harrowed year for us all. The song takes the listener on an emotional rollercoaster, mirroring the highs and lows that characterized the seemingly unbelievable events that were chronicled that year. With composition that’s pieced together bit by bet with intention and direction, each ounce of the arrangement perfectly reflects the ebb and flow of the narrative. From the hopeful opening to the chaotic and frenzied mid section to the brief interlude before it closes with a rather mournful and hopeful , “2020” takes the full arrangement prowess of Roxercat to deliver a piece that’s as grand and magnificent as they’ve ever done.
Transcending rock and roll has always been Roxercat’s life blood and “2020” takes it to new heights.
