Our Take

Jeremy Messersmith's latest offering, "Late Stage Capitalism," is a whimsical journey through the pitfalls and absurdities of our modern economic system. From the title alone, you can tell this album isn't your run-of-the-mill pop record.

Opening track "The Price of Progress" sets the tone with its catchy hooks and scathing lyrics about consumerism. Messersmith’s gentle vocals are a stark contrast to the biting commentary on tracks like "Greed is Good" and "Money Talks, But It Don't Sing and Dance."

But don't be fooled by the serious subject matter, there's a playful side to this album too. "CEO of My Heart" is a cheeky love song with clever wordplay, while "The Wall Street Waltz" will have you tapping your feet despite its melancholic undertones.

Messersmith's songwriting is top-notch, weaving intricate melodies with thought-provoking lyrics. The production is slick and polished, with lush arrangements that enhance the storytelling.

Overall, "Late Stage Capitalism" is a thought-provoking and entertaining listen that will leave you pondering the state of the world while humming along to catchy tunes. Messersmith proves once again why he is a master of his craft, blending social commentary with catchy pop sensibilities. This album is a must-listen for anyone who enjoys music that makes you think and dance at the same time.
