I was a good man once, but years of unanswered prayers have left me faithless, hopeless and abandoned. Years of serving in hell has left me thankless. I let the pain in my head turn the veins in my arms to ash. I feel the burn in my blood and the lungs in my chest collapse. I feel the ache in my guts as the memories and hurt flood back when all I want to feel is nothing. Forgive me my Father, for I am a sinner.
Before this album I'd only ever really listened to Lament and Dead Horse X; I've never been -that- familiar with touche amore but this blasted them from being a band I enjoyed on occasion to an absolute favorite, one I feel connected with personally, intimately. I feel understood which is a rare experience. sleepy_foxie
The Philadelphia group sharpen their hooks and internal dyanmics for a fun and non-dorky take on power pop anyone can get behind. Bandcamp New & Notable Mar 26, 2024
Musically this feels more experimental for La Dispute reminding me of their Here, Hear releases. Very atmospheric and easy to lose your self in. Perfect for the next time you’re contemplating your existence. (Also found out the guitarist builds his own pedals and used them on this record; neato!) Mikey
