"Stunning musical and, in particular, six-string intricacy... layers of lush, ringing, occasionally grimy and often heavily effected guitars" ~ Guitar World
"Guitarist Michael Ciravolo assembled an all-star cast for his moody hard-hitting album... Intense" ~ Rolling Stone
"Hauntingly heavy and beautiful" – LA Weekly
"A masterclass in sonic transubstantiation... BIC transmutes a staple of the American folk canon – one still echoing Johnny Cash’s gravel – into a swamp-gothic drone, immediately followed by the righteous indignation of a Joe Strummer deep cut" ~ The Spill Magazine
The always revolving, ever-evolving entity Beauty In Chaos presents 'Get Down Moses' from their latest double A-side single 'God's Gonna Cut You Down / Get Down Moses'. This newest offering is BIC's own rendition of this much-loved Joe Strummer classic, the video for which was filmed and directed by Vicente Cordero (Industrialism Films).
Produced by Grammy-nominated producer Michael Rozon (Ministry, Jarboe, Wayne Hussey, The Melvins), this single was released via Los Angeles-based boutique imprint 33.3 Music Collective. BIC earlier shared the video for their enveloping, smokey rendition of the traditional gospel hymn 'God’s Gonna Cut You Down', popularized by Mr. Johnny Cash.
BIC curator Michael Ciravolo takes on duties as lead vocalist on both tracks in this release, in addition to guitars and percussion. On this track, he is joined by Rozon (bass, drum programming, synths, backing vocals) with backing vocals by Tish Ciravolo and Whitney Tai.
“As with 'God’s Gonna Cut You Down', I felt a spiritual calling to do this particular song. I think Joe’s lyrics are certainly "timely" and just as socially important as anything he ever did with The Clash," says Michael Ciravolo.
“We filmed this the day after we shot “God’s Gonna Cut you Down”, so it was nice to swing the pendulum to something a bit lighter. While this video looks like it was fun to make, it was certainly not meant to lessen the sting of Joe’s lyrical attack on governments, oppression and the Catholic church. My ‘1977’ shirt, which I am sure Clash fans will notice, is my personal tribute to Joe Strummer”.
Beauty In Chaos has come a long way since LA-based guitarist Michael Ciravolo (formerly of Human Drama and Gene Loves Jezebel and current President of Schecter Guitars) launched this project in 2018. Over the years, BIC has involved members of The Cure, Ministry, Cheap Trick, The Offspring, Gene Loves Jezebel, Marilyn Manson, Human Drama, Bauhaus, Nine Inch Nails, Van Halen, A Flock of Seagulls and dUg Pinnick, ICE-T, Rolan Bolan and Zakk Wylde, among other luminaries.
The new single is available everywhere digitally, including Bandcamp and Beauty In Chaos' store, where their latest two albums -- 'Dancing With Angels' and the remix companion ‘Signs In The Heavens Reality Upside Down’ -- can also be found.
