MOLSI Releases Musical Album WHITE ELEPHANT and Talks Class Warfare and Underclass Rebellion  Image

On Memorial Day 2018, MOLSI Productions released the musical album "War Elephant"-the company's 5th album release of 2018. CEO and Executive Producer Jack Molsi states that he is "extremely proud" of the "War Elephant" release because the content of the album presents such an eclectic mix of musical varietyfrom touching synth-pop ballads to electric guitar-driven Rock songswhile still telling a cohesive story and offering poignant social commentary on the state of our society and geopolitical affairs.

Jack Molsi said the album took a few months to write and record in a series of intense and focused recording sessions in the Florida backwoods where those involved were "completely withdrawn from the pressures of modern society." Touching on the themes of war and underclass rebellion, "War Elephant" tells the story of a protagonist that is extremely benevolent at heart but has no choice but to wage war against the powers that routinely oppress him. Jack Molsi continued by saying: "in 2018, I think the class divide and the state of class warfare has reached unprecedented levels. You have 6 billion people on this planet that are poor beyond belief and who can't hang on to the meager wages that that they earn for even 15 seconds because of the intense pressure to spend and the rise of e-commerce." "If certain elite institutions do not have the good sense to give back to those that line their coffers, we may see a violent slave uprising in this country and beyond. People feel angry, betrayed, lied to... even spit on...especially the younger generations and that's the truth regardless of what the newscasters tell you."

Aside from pointing out systemic social problems, MOLSI's "War Elephant" aims to inspire constructive dialogue about how our economy can better serve more people. Jack Molsi stated: "People need to speak openly about the problems that they face in their lives and careers. Suffering should not be a daily routine for so many. The end-result of staying silent and simply saying 'well, that's just the way the world works" is a recipe for disaster in that it will only perpetuate the status quo and possibly even worsen the serious problems that we face now. It would be a miracle for a single politician or a single news outlet to promote the concept of workers saving money instead of spending it thoughtlessly. Like it or not, that's the message that real leaders need to get out to the people."

MOLSI Productions' "War Elephant" is available for a free listen on Youtube. The album can be found by searching "MOLSI - War Elephant." Jack Molsi finished by saying: "MOLSI Productions always encourages the use of headphones when listening to our content. We are a small-budget operation that can't afford to produce content as pristinely as we would like. Use of headphones will heighten the listening experience and let you better connect to the music and the story being told."
