Garrett Vandermolen - "He Seems to Think That He's a King"

Based on the title and the artwork for Garrett Vandermolen's (Speedfossil) latest single, you already know if you'll like it or not. "He Seems to Think That He's a King" might be the most chill and lovely protest song to come out of everything going on right now. It's a singer-songwriter track that is lush and surprisingly beautiful, especially considering the subject matter. If it was on in the background and you weren't paying attention, you'd most likely think it was a love song or a song about literally anything but the current political climate. Vandermolen pulled off something great and impressive with "He Seems to Think That He's a King."

Garrett Vandermolen says of his new single:

“I wanted to get this song out into the world quickly, and I just got really lucky that I had some collaborators available to work with me who really wanted to play on this track and be a part of it.   I’m super grateful to my son, McCoy, for arranging and playing the royal trumpet procession in the outro, and also to Christopher Weyant (New Yorker/The Boston Globe) for giving me permission to use his excellent artwork.   Obviously, I feel that the Trump administration is a disaster for America and that they are eroding away, on a daily basis, the bedrock principles of the U.S Constitution and due process laws in the United States of America.   I have a voice and can write songs, so this is my protest - I hope it reaches far and wide."
