Music is an art of sound that can be manipulated in various ways. Music may be changed with different rhythms, melodies, harmonies, or noises. What one may consider music may be different for another person. Take for instance a bird chirping. There is a possibility of it being a song, or simply a call to another bird. It may be hard to decipher with creatures that we are not familiar with and noises we are not prone to hearing. This raises a question to some whether The Locust are simply random blurts of noises and shouting, or a new form of music. Justin Pearson, bassist and vocalist of the Locust, has been quoted saying that they want people to look at music in a different manner. With their latest release New Erections, it is never too late to look at music differently. New Erections can be translated into a new birth of music and what the Locust are capable of accomplishing. It has taken some time since their last release, but it has finally come.

Complexity, chaos, and noise are three components that create New Erections with a never-ending saga of eccentric music. While there will still be non-believers in what the Locust do as a band, they are creating brilliant, innovative music that will not be featured on Guitar Hero III. They have thrown generic song structure down into an infinite hell and made it to fit who they are as a band. While few bands will try to recreate what they are doing with music, musicians alike will perhaps think of music more than just a standard format of: Intro, Verse, Chorus, Verse, Chorus, Bridge/Solo, Chorus, Outro. Without change, we are at a standstill in life in which repetition takes over. New Erections may be the Locust’s best work yet in their collection and a change for the better. It is time for everyone to hear a new birth in creativity and more importantly a new birth in music.
