Multi-instrumentalist and surrealist collage artist Matt Leibowitz aka Cowboy Clean’s newest single, “Coins,” takes a different vibe from his first track, “Charcoal,” leaning into a heavier, more reflective sound. Matt Leibowitz, the brains behind Cowboy Clean, explores themes of desire and capitalism through catchy beats and introspective lyrics.
The song kicks off with vivid imagery of a burning city and intimate moments, setting the stage for a narrative on power dynamics and human vulnerability. Throughout the track, the repetition of the word “coins” serves as a reminder of the materialistic world we live in, where profit often trumps empathy.
“Coins” is a testament to Cowboy Clean’s evolving artistry and commitment to engaging with pressing social issues. With its infectious rhythm and thought-provoking lyrics, the single is sure to resonate with audiences seeking music that stimulates both the body and the mind. As Leibowitz continues to push musical boundaries, “Coins” stands as a testament to the power of art to inspire reflection and change.
