Rex K & the Snake Pit Philharmonic – Beaten Path Blues: A search for meaning in life

Rex K & the Snake Pit Philharmonic is a one man experimental rock band from Atlanta. Different musicians have their different pathways that lead them to music but this artist- Rex K, had a very bizarre and unique experience when he encountered extraterrestrial beings who struck him with a ray of inspiration and energy. Since that day, Rex K has dedicated his life to artistic endeavors and is trying to explore his creativity through various outlets. The band’s name originates from a real-life 9 feet deep snake pit that exists in his childhood house. The band jams and practices in this snake pit sometimes.

“A blend of rock and jazz presented beautifully. The song’s theme deals with the search of meaning and direction in life.”

Beaten Path Blues is a very unique rock track which I wouldn’t necessarily call rock but a blend of various genres that come together to make a masterpiece. The theme of the song is the realization about the absurdity and stagnant nature of one’s life. After this realization, as a normal human would go around searching for meaning and desperately want to find a path that offers various joys of life, the song represents the same. The Jazz influence in the track adds so much character to the song. The immaculate key work and the unexpected tempo switch in the track is what stood out for me.
