In his new single, “I Called It Brisket,” Ignatius C. Litroc takes you on a complicated, movie-like journey through the darker sides of love and obsession. The song combines rock with the theatrical elegance of a crooner, creating a slow-burning ballad that is both unsettling and strangely beautiful, a complex mix of longing and decay.
“I Called It Brisket” is inspired by the Montreal killer case, but it doesn’t make its dark subject matter seem more exciting. Litroc, on the other hand, views it as a dark allegory that illustrates how love can make it difficult to distinguish between wanting something and physically consuming it emotionally. His delivery is full of irony, and it’s suave, alluring, and strangely composed, as if he’s singing to the frenzy that comes with love.
The song’s tempo is like a movie, with each note slowly revealing itself like a zoom into a scene of disturbing closeness. There is a subtle, dark humor throughout that makes the experience both unsettling and enjoyable. The production does a great job of building this tension with raw guitar tones, murky rhythms, and vocals that go from soft to threatening.
What makes “I Called It Brisket” stand out is that it makes you feel like you are also enjoying the twisted pleasure of devotion taken to extremes. Instead of just telling a story, Ignatius C. Litroc puts on a psychological show that is both poetic and twisted. This song stands out in a sea of polished pop confessions due to its humor, theatricality, and unapologetic darkness. It is rock music that likes the dark side of life, and Litroc presents it uniquely.
