New Music: Got A New Car

           

Tyler Ballgame has returned with a new single, "Got a New Car." The track begins with a simple acoustic guitar melody and some jangly percussion before Ballgame is joined by a full band. His upper register delivery gives the song a fascinating texture, highlighted by mallet percussion and layers of melodic accents. Regarding the Alan Watts influence on the song's lyrics, Ballgame shared: "Watts said 'The ego is an obsolete vehicle for human consciousness.' So I wondered, what if I bought a new car? It's about my spiritual awakening. Realizing I’m not this set of stories. I don’t need to attach to stuff around expectations, which is 90% of human suffering. The video was shot by Joey Casale.
