American hard rock/post-grunge band File Under Humanoid share their latest single »Jester’s Lament«

Milwaukee, Wisconsin based hard rock/post-grunge band File Under Humanoid share their latest single »Jester’s Lament«, a poignant reflection on the current state of the world.

The band comments: “»Jester’s Lament« employs the metaphor of a jester, a traditional figure of satire and comedy, to explore the complex emotions of living in a world that often feels on the brink of chaos. The song captures the essence of our collective experience, where humor becomes a mask for action.”

File Under Humanoid is a Milwaukee-based project from the mind’s eye of Jason W. Sidabras. File Under Humanoid bridges the gap between grunge post-rock and psychedelic indie rock, creating a sound that is both raw and ethereal. Their music blends the gritty energy of grunge with the dreamy expansiveness of psychedelic indie, forging a unique and captivating sonic landscape.

“Introducing »Jester’s Lament«, a song that weaves a haunting narrative of humor and tragedy against the backdrop of a world in decline. In this piece, we delves into the heart of our collective experience, exploring how we often mask our deepest fears and sorrows with a veneer of laughter and jest.

Set against the backdrop of rising right-wing nationalism, environmental catastrophes, and a world grappling with the scarcity of resources, »Jester’s Lament« is a reflection of our times. The jester, a timeless symbol of satire and wit, becomes a metaphor for our response to the world’s apparent downfall – laughing while ignoring our despair.”
