Mobius Radio shares their latest single, “The More You Know”
Mobius Radio got off to a rough start. In early 2020, Dylan Hennessy (Guitar, Vocals, Producer) decided it was time to create a band separate from his own name. His Prog-infused, electronic-inspired, Live-Looping Rock music had developed over the years, landing him opening spots for I Mother Earth, Finger Eleven, and MONOWHALES. On March 6th, Mobius Radio would release their 1st song, and 6 days later, the night before their first live performance under the new banner, they’d be thrown into indefinite pandemic hiatus.
“It was a devastating blow to our momentum, but it did give me time to plan our next move,” Dylan explains. “I began producing demos at home of many of our songs. I spent hundreds of hours just putting things together on my own like a puzzle. It wasn’t until last summer that the skeleton of a record presented itself.”
It was then that Dylan began working with Canadian radio icon Jeff Woods on bringing together a bigger vision.
“I had this idea from the inception of the band, that the songs were all taking place on an illegal radio station. I presented the idea to Jeff of having a record that played through like a radio program, and thankfully, he was interested in working on it. He has one of Canada’s most recognizable radio voices, and he wasn’t afraid to push outside his comfort zone on this record. He narrates a number of interludes, but also appears in some of the songs themselves.”
Dylan recalls working on “The More You Know,”
“This was actually the final song written for this record. It focuses on the idea that as you get closer to mastering something, you can often feel like you’ve actually just been shown how much you actually still have to learn. I had the idea to have a spoken pre-chorus, and hearing it with Jeff’s voice for the first time was crazy, he absolutely nailed it. What’s even cooler was he agreed to act for the first time in the upcoming music video we have for the song. It’s been incredibly rewarding watching our work together come to life.”
“The More You Know” was recorded and produced by Mobius Radio’s lead writer Dylan Hennessy at his home studio.
Review
On May 15, Mobius Radio unveiled their single, “The More You Know,” a four-minute introduction to the Ontario-based rock duo.
The track delivers an intense burst of energy from the start. Mobius Radio’s musicianship is on full display throughout the track, and production is well-balanced, capturing the raw energy of a live performance while maintaining clarity and definition in each instrument.
Dylan’s vocals exude a mellow and introspective quality as the song begins, which contrasts perfectly with the energetic instrumentation. As we reach the chorus, Dylan’s vocals deepen and gain a somewhat gritty quality, while belting out, “I know, The more you know, the less you know, The more that you know you don’t know, No, You don’t know at all.”
Overall, the lyrics of the song provide a thought-provoking exploration of the nature of knowledge and self-discovery. The song captures the realization that the more we learn, the more we become aware of the vastness of what we don’t know.
“The More You Know” does a great job introducing Mobius Radio to the world, with the combination of intense instrumentation and introspective vocals which create a captivating listening experience, and leave the listener wondering what else the band has up their sleeves.
