As I concentrate on supporting and championing new music throughout the year. Notably, these last two years I have missed not seeing the solo work of Tom Aspaul appear in my Spotify Wrapped Top Ten. However, there is always next year to look forward to. Especially so, because Tom’s third album “Cabin Fever” is due early summer 2025. Recently he dropped the title track as the first teaser of this upcoming body-of-work. Although noting, a music video was on the way, I obviously waited until this dropped since Tom’s music videos are always way cool to watch.
“Cabin Fever” is an immersive concept album inspired by Tom’s unforgettable trip to Sweden during a Midsommar weekend. What began as a simple getaway soon spiralled into an extraordinary adventure after he indulged in some hallucinogenics. This album masterfully captures the exhilarating and somewhat bewildering experiences that arose from this wild adventure. Each track serves as a vivid episode, painting the surreal journey of a day where the effects of substances take hold. Reality begins to unravel, and the boundaries between perception and the fantastical merge into an unforgettable soundscape.
The music video for the title track, brilliantly directed by Noam Gottlieb-Zeiss and Tom Aspaul, presents a captivating journey that unfolds when he is invited into a sauna. Even in his surreal, trippy state, the experience becomes intensely hot and steamy, drawing viewers into its allure. To enhance the experience, the video also introduces a prelude track titled “Sauna,” which artfully blends with the single edit of “Cabin Fever.” Furthermore, making this an unforgettable auditory and visual experience.
Having highlighted Tom Aspaul’s work multiple times on the blog. Moreover, it’s clear that his writing stems from a deeply authentic and relatable standpoint. He constructs narratives that resonate because they’re rooted in real experiences. Thus, it’s no surprise that his “Cabin Fever” release features such provocative lyricism.
“I see the devil and we lock eyes. Somewhere between 1, 2, 3, 10 guys”… – “Everybody wants a piece, wants a piece of me. They got their eyes on the prize like its BCD. I drop the towel and I’m looking disrespectfully. C-cabin fever, cabin fever got the best of me.
With an undeniable spark ignited, Tom vividly relives the adventures of his mind-altering Swedish encounter, captivating listeners and leaving them wanting more.
Get ready to mark your calendars for the exciting summer of 2025! Not only will he be celebrating the release of this highly anticipated album. We can also look forward to Tom’s electrifying performance at the renowned Mighty Hoopla festival. Don’t miss out on this chance to experience it all!
