Released on March 27, 2026, “Force Beyond Control” by Collin Sherman isn’t an easy listen, and that’s exactly the point. This is a track that feels like it’s unraveling in real time, pulling together jazz, experimental rock, and electronic textures into something intense and unpredictable.
Right away, you can hear how layered this is. Alto and soprano saxophones weave through the mix, clashing and blending with electric cello, distorted guitar, and synth textures that feel almost mechanical at times. It’s chaotic, but not random, everything feels placed with purpose, even when it sounds like it’s about to fall apart.

The lyrics are direct, angry, and unapologetic, tackling political tension, media noise, and the feeling of being trapped inside a system that’s spinning out of control. Lines like “show me the person, I’ll show you the crime” and “take me away from the pantomime of strongmen” don’t leave much room for interpretation.
There’s a shift midway through the track where things move from structured chaos into something more abstract. The imagery of the sea, roiling, unstoppable, mirrors the emotional build. It feels less like commentary at that point and more like surrender, like being pulled into something bigger than yourself.

The title ties everything together. This really does feel like a “force beyond control”, politically and emotionally. Sherman uses the concept of the ouroboros, self-destruction feeding itself, as a backdrop, and you can hear that tension throughout the piece.
It’s not built for casual listening or playlists. This is a track you sit with. It challenges you, pushes you, and doesn’t try to make things comfortable. “Force Beyond Control” isn’t just music, it’s reaction, pressure, and release all at once. And whether you agree with its perspective or not, it’s impossible to ignore.
