Mystik Fool are a four-piece indie-rock act hailing from Pennsylvania, and they’ve just released ‘I’m On My Way’, an incredible, catchy-as-hell, genre-bending tune that is filled with positivity and excitement. It’s their first release since the band’s debut album from last year, and I think it’s fair to say it was worth the wait. A phenomenal array of different genres and sounds meet and create what the band has labelled “Spirit Jam” – their self-proclaimed and aptly named genre. You really just have to hear it to appreciate it! It’s rocky, poppy, ambient at times, a little psychedelic in places – it simply has everything – and Mystik Fool makes it work fantastically.
‘I’m On My Way’ explores the feelings of heading back home from a journey that you don’t quite want to end just yet, and who can’t relate to that? “We wrote this song as a remedy to that feeling,” says the band – and we at Indie Top 39 can’t thank them enough for it.
‘I’m On My Way’ is the perfect coming home track! Filled with the positivity and excitement that we could all use a bit more of!
Indie top 39
What does the song mean to you?
Galen: This song goes back a few years to a cross country trip we took. I was sad for us to see an adventure coming to an end. so I thought I’d write a song about how it felt to come home after that and switch the narrative in my head to one with an optimistic perspective. This song is such a jam too!
Tell us about your creative process and how the song came to be?
Galen: So the song was actually started in a hotel room with my brother when we went to visit the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2018. The main melody just popped out while we were deep in a round of Mario Kart! After the trip, I ended up sitting down with my looping set up and creating the rest of the song. 3 years later we recorded and released this song with a huge producer. It was so sick!
Which Netflix series or movie would you like your music to be featured in?
Galen: If this song was in a Netflix show I would definitely love for it to be in Moonlight Gospel. Just because that show is so wacky and introspective, it’s kinda my vibe.
What does success mean to you?
Galen: If I set a goal for myself and achieve it, I was successful. It doesn’t matter how I got there as long as I didn’t do any harm. Music is tough because there are so many goals I have as a musician that don’t have a blueprint for accomplishing. so I find myself having to get a little more creative than usual.
