For all the times it’s been said that the best music comes from loss, it never stops being true. Just look at ‘Young At The Bend’<\/i>, the new album from Massachusetts trio Born Without Bones<\/b>, an album born from the re-evaluation of frontman Scott Ayotte’s life following the passing of his grandmother.<\/p>\n

Granted, its influence is only really prominent in the subtext. On the surface, this pans out like any number of modern emo albums, with perennially gritty, indie-leaning guitars and a feeling of distance that sneaks its way into any free space. But even then, Born Without Bones<\/b>’ attempts feel a bit more real, with Ayotte’s slight breaks into screams on tracks like ‘Fool’<\/i> and ‘Shy Away’<\/i> highlighting the tense edges.<\/p>\n

Young At The Bend by Born Without Bones<\/a><\/p>\n

Dig deeper though, and the grief that permeates this album becomes all the more noticeable. The hectic anger of ‘I Am A Ruin’<\/i> hits that spot well, but then there’s ‘Young’<\/i>, the purge anchored in a heavy bass rumble that sees the band fly off the hinges just that small bit in a fit of half panic, half catharsis.<\/p>\n

It’s the most human moment in an album that’s full of them, and it’s all the better for it. ‘Young At The Bend’<\/i> might not be anything novel, but Born Without Bones<\/b>’ believability, as well as the near mastery of their craft, makes it that much more of a potent, longstanding listen.<\/p>\n

4\/5<\/p>\n

‘Young At The Bend’<\/i> by Born Without Bones<\/strong> is released on 12th May on Devil You Know Records<\/b>.<\/p>\n
