Ape Bucket Released New Song “Made Up My Mind”

‘Made Up My Mind’, the latest release by Lebanese-born, SoCal-based musician Ape Bucket (Charbel Saikali), beautifully captures the electric, magnetic energy of meeting someone special for the first time. With this track, Ape Bucket taps into that unforgettable moment when two eyes meet and the air seems to crackle with possibility, along with the hesitancy and uncertainty that often accompany it.

Rooted in feel-driven frequencies, his work defies classifications when it comes time to create new music, blending his own influences and flavors that evoke transformative emotional states.

This single is the second release from his ongoing project, ‘Scatterbrain’, where Ape Bucket explores a range of music styles that inspire him. This record has foundations in garage rock, modern indie, and notes of psychedelic blues that mix into a whimsy of colors. With a punky bass tone, flirty guitar tones, and a light touch of whimsical synthesizers this track is easy to dance to with a carefree and adventurous spirit. 

“I wanted ‘Made Up My Mind’ to capture multiple aspects of finding someone special, particularly the impact of eye contact and the charge that pulses in our nervous system because of a connection.” shares Ape Bucket. “It’s about how much we can communicate with just a look, as well as the inner dialogue of deciding whether to pursue the connection. It’s a song about embracing the moment, casting away doubts, and committing when you’ve ‘Made Up Your Mind.’” 

Influenced by the psychedelic rock era of the late 60s and the modern 2010s era, Ape Bucket infuses his music with a distinctive blend of punk, permanent wave, and alternate indie.With his explosive live performances, this one-man band channels a raw, captivating energy. From his bedroom, he writes, performs, records, and produces every track himself. “I just enjoy the act of sharing music,” he says. “This is the best way I know how to do it.” ‘Made Up My Mind’ is available now on all streaming platforms.
