Michael Chagnon Ignites the NYC Garage-Rock Scene with "The Way That You Move"

With its unapologetic intensity, Michael Chagnon's first single, "The Way That You Move," announces his arrival. Chagnon is an artist from New York City who knows how to make music that is determined and exciting. He takes the raw, stripped-down power of garage-rock bands like The White Stripes and The Black Keys and makes it his own.

The song starts with a fuzzed-out variation that throws listeners into a fast-paced rush that feels more like running through the neon-lit streets of a noir city than a song. There's a tension here that reflects the uncertainty of going through a breakup. Chagnon has distilled that electric anxiety into every beat of this song. Every drum hit and guitar crunch is like the magnetic pull of the unknown, capturing the short-lived thrill of meeting someone where anything can happen.

"The Way That You Move" has a feeling of closeness even though it has a lot of energy. It was recorded on quiet Virginia nights. The debut single invites listeners to lose themselves in its fast-paced rush, riding a wave of fuzzy instrumentation and raw emotion that makes it feel both new and old at the same time. With this release, Chagnon establishes himself in the garage-rock scene, demonstrating the explosive power of debut singles.
