During the pandemic, musician Jesse D. Pennington channeled his experiences of growing up post-college, navigating marriage, parenting, capitalism and regret into his musical project he dubbed Letters From Suburbia. Each song, aptly described as a ‘letter,’ addresses a single topic in modern suburban America.
These songs are wrapped in unforgettable hooks, dripping with the artist’s unique blend of sardonic lyricism, thoughtfulness and wit. His work reflects the grind of responsibilities, the weight of legacy, the angst of regrets and the struggle against time.
2021 saw him first reveal the project to the wider world via the debut single “Good Morning, Suburbia,” which was quickly followed up by singles two and three before the debut EP, please scream quietly inside your heart, came in August that year. Since then he’s dropped a string of well received tracks and now brings us his latest release with the brand new single titled “Medical Boomerang.”
Penned about the modern health care system in the USA and the frustrations the artist’s endured in dealing with it, his new single serves up an angsty, alternative pop rock anthem that sees him channels his anger into a thrilling sonic ride. Opened by the soft muted tones of electric guitar, the strike of drums ushers in the artist’s smooth vocal leads that spin picture painting lyricism above the swell of musical energy.
Bursting into an anthemic chorus, the track erupts into a storming flurry of stabbed guitar chords and pounding drums capped by impassioned vocal leads carrying instantly infectious vocal hooks. Offering a sharp dissection of the modern health care system that seems to prioritise treatment of healing, “Medical Boomerang” delivers a rousing pop-focused rock outing that puts Letters From Suburbia’s sonic talents on full display.
Full of crunching guitars, driving drums, relentless energy and compelling vocals, it’s a superb showcase of this exciting artist’s talent. Commenting on the song, he shares, “This song is everything I’ve ever wanted to express about dealing with corporate health care in modern America. Modern medicine is not all that it’s cracked up to be… if you can even afford it.”
