Brimming with psych rock sounds, “Supreme Truth” is as much a gentle row down a canal as it is an intense hallucinogenic trip, as it weaves between a head-bopping, summer-infused melody and a darker, punchy riff that’ll have your head spinning.
Spirit Award explain their track concept, “The idea for the song is based on the Japanese death cult, “Aum Shinrikyo”, lead by Shoko Asahara, who basically recruited rich nerds to join his cult, and carry out the Tokyo subway sarin attack in 1995. We got really fascinated by cults, institutions, and religions and how they recruit and keep followers. I think part of it is, we don’t see people in cults and religions as people. We put a label on them to separate them. Humans do this often. It’s really easy to get lost in something if that’s all you’re surrounded by.”
