\"\"<\/figure>\n<\/p>\n

On 2014’s ‘Keep You’<\/i>, Baltimore five-piece Pianos Become The Teeth<\/b> turned a corner to a mostly welcomed approach; swapping abrasive screamo of their early work for clean, almost atmospheric melodies. Now as they return for their fourth outing, ‘Wait For Love’<\/i>, PBTT<\/b> promise to reconcile their aggressive past. Butt it’s not quite executed in the final product. Nevertheless, ‘Wait For Love’<\/i> does see a band venture away from the morose tone that anchored its predecessor.<\/p>\n

‘Fake Lightning’<\/i> stirs with optimism amongst a textured backdrop of earthy drums. Likewise, ‘Charisma’<\/i> is a sturdy follow up, neatly blending Kyle Durfey’s clean vocals with a strong and upbeat rhythm section as he sings of seeing his newborn son for the first time. ‘Bitter Red’<\/i> rings with a rumbling undertone, capturing the devasting realisation that his widowed mother is ageing and not capable of what she used to be.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

As ‘Wait For Love’<\/i> plays through, Durfey’s emotive words serve as its spine, and with a tendency to pull back and build up, the execution is compelling. Songs such as ‘Dry Spells’<\/i> and ‘Manila’<\/i> perfectly exemplify this trait. Vocally, Durfey conveys his emotions with precision, luring you with his personal tales of complicated pregnancies (‘Forever Sound’<\/i>), the stress of being away from his partner while on tour (‘Bloody Sweat’<\/i>), and the heartbreaking conclusion that his newborn son will never meet his Grandfather (‘Blue’<\/i>).<\/p>\n

For the most part, the harmonious indie\/post-hardcore template of its predecessor remains. Nevertheless, ‘Bay of Dreams’<\/i> serves as a spacious midpoint. It’s a departure for the quintet yet it doesn’t feel isolated. It neatly wovens its way into ‘Wait For Love’<\/i>’s emotive fabric.<\/p>\n

Overall, ‘Wait For Love’<\/i> is a multi-faceted record that requires patience to be lyrically understood. However, the familiar warm instrumentation threads it all together, giving it a sense of consistency, most notably in David Haik’s textured drums. It’s a reasonable sequel to ‘Keep You’<\/i> that is, occasionally, too refined yet is organically delivered.<\/p>\n

3.5\/5<\/p>\n

‘Wait For Love’<\/i> by Pianos Become The Teeth<\/b> is released on 16th February on Epitaph Records<\/b>.<\/p>\n
