THE WAIT IS OVER!!!! Today our self titled double album REDD KROSS aka
#TheReddAlbum is released into the wild and we are ecstatic! To help celebrate we are offering a 4th single and video. Steven had this to say about the song’s origins and the accompanying video: “The music to ‘The Main Attraction’ was written one day while thinking of a friend that was in need of some spirit lifting. It was weird, all of the chords and melodies came out fully formed in one shot. Had never happened before, and hasn’t happened since. The lyrics came some time later, after filling out, a sort of, self help questionnaire. One prompt was, and I’m paraphrasing, “Do you ever pray, and if so how?”. The nihilistic inner teen within rolled his eyes, but managed some words he could stomach without vomiting and going full head spinning, Linda Blair style.
‘Ever expanding universe, please help me make best use of my place in you. And may all my actions be motivated by love.’
Later Jeff McDonald helped me fill in some of the blank spaces, most notably suggesting the line “Cosmic elastical show”. I said, “I like it, but I don’t think ‘elastical’ is a real word”, Jeff quickly responded “so?…” ✨ and voila ‘The Main Attraction’ was born.
The clip here brilliantly directed by video FX artist Sean McGuirk
@seanstle goes down a similar cosmically contemplative path, but then seems to veer off into the unfortunate realities of human foibles hinting at some kind of sibling struggle and ending on a note I interpret as; All you need is love, or..a pie in the face.”
