Michael Raj and Frantz Cesar make up HOAX – a Queens-based duo who pair up sonic soundscapes and meaningful concepts together to create what they call “empathy pop”.
To say their sound is satisfying is probably an understatement. You can definitely feel the 60’s and 70’s influences.
Their latest single “You Get So Alone Sometimes” is out now, and it details the human struggle with loneliness and ultimately trying to embrace it. Mike Raj confides “I started thinking of it as the empathy of loneliness. It’s like a feeling of understanding what it means to be lonely and being okay with it, not okay in the sense of hopefulness – like “Oh don’t worry! It will be better in the future”, but more like reconciling with loneliness as a true mark of feeling and being human. We feel alone because we know what it feels like to feel together with others. One can not exist without the other.”
Give “You Get so Alone Sometimes” a listen below. It will be featured on HOAX’s upcoming full length album based on a story/screenplay the band wrote exploring the human condition!
