Los Angeles-based rocker grandson (aka Jordan Benjamin) has released his latest singles and video for “GOD IS AN ANIMAL”. The Orwellian track slowly builds to a hard-hitting crescendo of crunching guitars that echo its message of questioning what it means to be truly civilized. The track is an anthem for anyone feeling muzzled by the status quo.
Of the track, Jordan says, “Years ago while on tour I had this idea for a musical based off of George Orwell’s 1984, where a farm animal realizes to run the farm it has to move like a human. After a couple iterations of that, I decided to release the title track from it on INERTIA, and trust that if that project is meant to be, it’ll find its way to the light someday. It’s certainly a fitting concept for the present moment in time. After all, we live in a ruthless world, supposedly ‘civilized’, where the dominating nations and religions scrapped their way to the top through the savage rule of the animal kingdom. We’re ultimately just apes, too smart (or stupid) for our own good.”
