Has anybody else heard this album? I absolutely
love it. Musically, they sound sort of like Billy Corgan fronting Oasis covering Coldplay, if that makes sense. The songs are very dense and, mostly, anthematic. The lyrics are pretty good, too. Take this example from "Ashes:"
Now watch me rise up and leave all the ashes you made out of me
When you said that we were wrong, life goes on, look how wrong I could be
Now watch me rise up and leave all the ashes you made out of me
When you said that we were wrong, life goes on, you blew me away
Quite a picturesque chorus exploring the devastation of lost love. My favorite songs are "Ashes," "Gravity," "Someday," and "Keeping." I think that Josh, Murlough, Andree, and maybe Aaron would like this album. It scored a
7.3 at Pitchfork.
P.S. It releases in the US in May, but came out late last year in the UK.
