Now, the band have returned with a brand new studio album entitled <i>&lsquo;You&rsquo;re Not As _____ As You Think&rsquo;<\/i> &#8211; a record that acts as an unflinching snapshot of frontman Cameron Boucher&rsquo;s life.<\/p>\n<p>While not labelled as a concept album, the themes of death and the shockwaves it can send through the lives of those left behind looms large over this album&rsquo;s ten tracks. Refraining from mincing his words from the get go, Boucher &#8211; in no uncertain terms &#8211; lays bare his own experiences on the rather heart-wrenching <i>\u2018No Halo&rsquo;<\/i>. The starkness of his lyrical approach will undoubtedly be a bit full on for some, but with a well-crafted indie rock instrumental, it&rsquo;s a haunting but beautiful opener.<\/p>\n<p><!-- more --><\/p>\n<p>Indeed, \u2018haunting&rsquo; and \u2018beautiful&rsquo; are words that befit much of <i>You&rsquo;re Not As _____ As You Think<\/i>. Standouts like the short but bittersweet <i>\u2018Car&rsquo;<\/i> and <i>\u2018Leave The Fan On&rsquo;<\/i> make maximum use of loud-soft dynamics, and while this record isn&rsquo;t groundbreaking musically, <b>Sorority Noise<\/b> provide the perfect backing track to stories this record tells.<\/p>\n<p>Although pain and heartache dominate this record, the way in which it is approaches these issue isn&rsquo;t always as heavy as on <i>\u2018No Halo&rsquo;<\/i>. From the sentiments of hope following a period of extreme grief that feature on <i>\u2018Disappeared&rsquo;<\/i> to <i>\u2018A Portrait Of&rsquo;<\/i>&rsquo;s occasional moments of morbid humour, there are no grey areas in the canvas Boucher paints.<\/p>\n<p><i>&#8216;You&rsquo;re Not As _____ As You Think&rsquo;<\/i> is at times an uncomfortable, but ultimately rewarding listen. Expertly representing the myriad of emotional states one experiences when mourning, this record is brutally honest but highly compelling as a result. <\/p>\n<p>4\/5<\/p>\n<p><i>&#8216;You&rsquo;re Not As ____ As You Think&rsquo;<\/i> by <b>Sorority Noise<\/b> is released on 17th March on <b>Big Scary Monsters<\/b> \/ <b>Triple Crown Records<\/b>.<\/p>\n<p><b>Sorority Noise<\/b> links: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.sororitynoise.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Website<\/a>|<a href=\"https:\/\/en-gb.facebook.com\/sororitynoise\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Facebook<\/a>|<a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/sororitynoise\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Twitter<\/a>|<a href=\"https:\/\/sororitynoise.bandcamp.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Bandcamp<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Words by Josh Graham (<a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/jollyboyjosh_\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">@jollyboyjosh_<\/a>)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>One of their genre&rsquo;s most prolific bands, Connecticutian emo rockers Sorority Noise already have two full-lengths, three EPs and three splits to their name since forming in 2013.
