I've just been handled an urgent and horrifying news story
And I need all of you to stop what you're doing
And listen
Cannonball
The introduction of Noisia & Phace's song Cannonball sets up the intense atmosphere of the track by introducing the listeners to an urgent and troubling news report that requires their full attention. The singer of the news story pleads with the audience to stop what they are doing and pay attention, which is reflective of the overall tone of the song that is heavy, urgent and aggressive. The use of the phrase "Cannonball" in the title of the song further emphasizes the explosive nature of the track and what it represents.
As the song progresses, the relentless beat and pulsating rhythms underpin the intense lyrics that are delivered by an assortment of distorted sounds and samples. The lyrics themselves do not conform to a direct narrative or story, but instead create an overall mood and feeling that aligns with the intensity of the music. The use of glitch, heavy bass, and intricate percussion patterns convey the chaotic nature of a cannonball blasting through obstacles in its path.
Overall, Cannonball is a track that is meant to be experienced rather than analyzed. It is a showcase of Noisia & Phace's skills in creating intense and aggressive music that is designed to elicit a powerful emotional response from the listener.
