As part of the their long-running Wino Wednesday weekly series honoring the works of SCOTT "WINO" WEINRICH, The Obelisk is now exclusively hosting a
Stream of "Timeless Spirit," hailing from the anxiously awaited second collaborative LP from American doom/rock legend, WINO, and iconic German singer/songwriter, CONNY OCHS, entitled
Freedom Conspiracy.
Throughout the sprawling forty-five minutes of
Freedom Conspiracy, the duo continues to experiment with their musical collaborations, exploring new ways of expressing their personal struggles with daily life through their incredibly soulful delivery, and "Timeless Spirit" is one prime example of this persistent theme. Here, both artists are heard fully
Embracing the vocal duties throughout the track together -- WINO's unmistakable, gritty, personal style paired with CONNY OCHS' dynamic, emotionally charged delivery -- while acoustic and electric guitars are seamlessly aligned, a lone
Kick drum provides a pulse-like rhythm and the big-rock
Thunder of piano chords soar from amidst the powerful anthem. Calling the track "the centerpiece" of
Freedom Conspiracy, The Obelisk praises "Timeless Spirit," issuing in part, "It is a road-song, and its immediate chorus, definitive piano keystrokes, and dual-vocals make it a more than fitting example of what the
Two parties bring to the table throughout the album. Time-worn but more
Embracing a transient life than resigning to it, it prefaces some of side B's grander moments and lives up to the spirit it describes, vital, and, yes, timeless. Like many of the best moments on the record, it
HAS no reservations about inviting the listener to come along for the ride."
