"I Thought I won The War" marks one of the compelling periods of Block's artistic career, producing a song that is at once musically diverse and emotionally revealing. This is the lead single from his upcoming album "Love Crash," due out next year on Meridian (ECR Music Group), and sets the stage for what's sure to be Block's most honest and candid work yet.
"I Thought I Won The War" is based on the unexpected battlefield of love. Partially inspired by World War I documentaries, Block observed comparisons between the bestial randomness of conventional warfare and the emotional surprise he found in a relationship that had run its course.
The single, produced by Chris Kuffner and mixed/mastered by Blake Morgan, boasts a production defined by its roaringly dynamic and mightily controlled levels of rawness. Block exposes, subverts, and explores the emotional truth behind a flawed relationship.
This is an introduction to a fuller emotional journey. "I Thought I Won The War" is a real discovery for those who enjoy well-told stories, cinematic songwriting, and heartfelt songwriting. Indeed, Block's ability to spin openness into strength and heartbreak into narrative traction makes him a player in the indie-pop and singer-songwriter arenas. This single not only greets "Love Crash" but heralds its arrival.
