I Am The Unicorn Head – Music For Humans

I Am The Unicorn Head is back with another excellent piece that will appeal to even the pickiest music enthusiasts. “Music For Humans” is their second standalone single this year, arriving after another superb song called “My Little Green Alien Friend” and an exceptional extended play release “(All Hail) The Rat King.” Soundwise, I Am The Unicorn Head shares another burst of indie rock sound, mixed with some elements borrowed from alternative, pop rock, pop punk, and punk rock. As usual, these subgenres suit them well, as the band shines with impressive musicianship and brilliant ideas throughout the entire track. They know how to write, compose, arrange, and produce catchy, memorable, engaging indie songs where each sonic, rhythmic, and vocal element sounds divine. Therefore, “Music For Humans” is not only a song for indie rock fans, but for anyone who appreciates cleverly composed, flawlessly performed, and expertly produced music.

On the onset, you’ll notice that “Music For Humans” arrives with a perfect structure, decorated with intricate segments, brilliant ideas, and marvelous musicianship. Still, we should start with the vocals. I Am The Unicorn Head is one of those bands who always thoroughly plan vocal arrangements, and that’s the case with this song. You’ll hear how the exceptional vocal performance takes center stage, emphasizing everything the band tried to achieve with this track. The impressive vocal range seamlessly balances low, mid, and high notes, decorating all the segments and decorations while commanding attention and guiding listeners through every section. These vocal maneuvers immediately introduce you to a rich and luxurious ambiance created by stacking many layers of sound and beats. They never cease to amaze with their ideas, and “Music For Humans” carries many sonic delicacies you surely don’t want to miss.

The guitar plays a significant role in shaping such a lush ambiance. They serve as a perfect backdrop for all the vocals to shine upon. The generous servings of riffs, chord progressions, melodies, harmonies, and themes offer an unforgettable experience worth revisiting over and over again. I Am The Unicorn Head stacked many layers so the guitar sound is heavy, dense, and powerful, but not overwhelming. In the meantime, you’ll hear how complex, audible, warm-sounding basslines lurk beneath all those guitar layers, offering more than necessary heftiness, clearness, and deepness while binding all the orchestrations with drums. As usual, the exceptional drumming performance acts as a backbone, keeping the remainder of the instrumentation in line while dictating groove and pace. The comprehensive collection of moderate, well-accentuated beats, breaks, fills, and other percussive acrobatics adds more richness to an already complex sound.

“Music For Humans” is such an outstanding piece that will appeal to all indie fans and beyond. With perfect vocals, lush guitar works, rich low-ends, and excellent rhythmic patterns, this composition showcases I Am The Unicorn Head’s ability to deliver a premium indie rock sound to the table. These folks never cease to amaze with their ideas and musicianship, and “Music For Humans” will immediately become your go-to track whenever you seek modern rock music. The single is available on all streaming platforms. Don’t miss it!
