LA-based Tarah Who? re-emerge with another engaging single "Illusion Of Freedom", released on April 2nd via Unleashed Music. It's the follow up to the popular "Manners", which has been met with worldwide acclaim. The track is based on the lead singer, Tarah, G, Carpenter's own personal experiences with immigration following her arrival from France. Tarah co-produced "Illusion Of Freedom with Jason Ome.
"Illusion Of Freedom" is another slice of up-tempo punk with thought-provoking lyrics...and a lot of attitudes! The track begins with another signature groove-orientated riff, courtesy of Carpenter segues into jagged vocals. Carpenter sounds like a defiant woman in the face of an adversary with the chorus acting as a statement. The dynamic guitars and edgy music underlie an issue close to Carpenter's heart.
Carpenter explains of Freedom’ "Whether I was in France and friends with people who were trying to get their papers, or here in the U.S. There was a time where my co-workers were too afraid to come to work, too afraid that they would be sent back home or separated from their families, even if they had been living here for over twenty years. "‘Illusion of Freedom’ is also a reflection on the situation with refugees. People and families who had to flee their country to feel safe somewhere, but they were not necessarily welcomed by everyone." "Illusion Of Freedom" is available now via all major streaming platforms. Words by Anselm Anderson.
