Spinoza - Brodie Hillegas and Austin Miller
from Top Hill Recording Podcast · host Neil Johnstone/Brad Weston
Debuting in 2022, Spinoza is comprised of long-time collaborators, Brodie Hillegas (multi-instrumentalist, songwriter, and producer) and Austin Miller (writer, drums, and percussion). Spinoza's first single, "10 Spaces" (released on April 29, 2022) is described by Brodie as "a classic, Bill-Withers-esque love ballad, mixed with a narrative that focuses on a twisted outsider's unhealthy ideals of love"; mixed in with some confessional lines about real-life struggles in the realm of addiction and love. The song's music video features a dark, masked figure, that would go on to become somewhat of a mascot for the band, celebrating what he believes is a beautiful ceremony of consecration with his corpse bride. Spinoza's newest single, "This Red Cloak", follows a narrator coming to terms with regrettable past decisions while simultaneously coming to terms with current toxicities that are tempting the narrator to fall back into times that are best forgotten. Airy synths, dreamy guitars, and layered sounds take control as the listener journeys through the narrators mind.
