USA based progressive rock and metal band Odin's Court's released their 5th full length album Turtles All the Way Down on March 3, 2015, and it has been well received by the press and fans alike. The album deals with ideas and questions relating to the entire universe and mankind's place in it, using the idiom "Turtles All the Way Down" to describe the challenge of having to solve a new problem every time an old problem is solved.
"And the Answer Is..." deals with an individual's attempt at coping and trying to understand mankind's origins and beyond.
Band leader Matt Brookins comments: "The latest single 'And the Answer Is...' deals with the internal thought process people go through as they try to figure out their place in the universe. Attempts at handling the vast scope are a big part of this, because infinity is a concept the human mind has a hard time grasping. Sometimes we think we have things figured out, then we dig deeper and our thought process spirals out of control leaving us as confused as ever. In my specific case, I remember a 'lazySunday' as a teenager laying on the floor in the sunshine. I fell asleep, but it was that special kind of 'asleep while awake' state, where you are conscious and controlling your thoughts...trying to maintain the balance of being aware so you don't wake yourself up, but also continuing to crunch data in that serene state. I remember thinking 'that's it! I've figured it out!" only to wake up, and promptly lose everything. I was aware enough while asleep to remember, when I woke, that I was thinking about the meaning of it all and had figured it out - but somewhere between the lucidity of dreaming and waking, I lost the actual answer."
