Taste Test: Fernando Viciconte laments the real truth on new song, ‘The Longest Wait’
The indie-rocker looks to the bottom of American society for missing truth on a new song.
Welcome to Taste Test, a song/video review series of SubmitHub-only gemstones
Fear is palpable in America these days. Top to bottom, we are living in troubled times, embroiled to things we don’t understand and gross shuffling of the bottom rung being flung deeper. Coloring with various brushes of rock, prickly yet urgent, Fernando Viciconte throws his heart at the wall on his new song called “The Longest Wait.” Sealed between layers of thrashing guitars, he seeks to understand the turmoil brewing in drips all across what is supposed to be the greatest country on earth. “Everybody shuts you out / And puts you down,” he scrawls in charcoal next to the remnants of his heart-felt confession. “It always seems to stay in your mind,” he later sings. He takes the forgotten into his hands, not to ridicule but to soothe and offer wisdom from his own seat. We should take it.
“The Longest Wait” is lifted from his new album, Traitors Table, out June 21 on Fluffy & Gravy Records
