\"image\"Not content to have already released one eye-catching album this year as part of the bright, upcoming emo outfit named The World Is A Beautiful Place & I Am No Longer Afraid To Die, guitarist and vocalist Derrick Shanholtzer also happens to release his solo material under the less-alienating moniker <\/span>One Hundred Year Ocean<\/strong> (lack of basic understanding of oceanography notwithstanding). With the former, Shanholtzer and his comrades have built an impressive form of expansive emo, blending the openendedness of post-rock with the reassuring lyrical angst of the genre. Whereas TWIABP often manages to be beautiful, the new <\/span>One Hundred Year Ocean <\/strong>EP; \u2018<\/em><\/span>Where Were You When We Were Getting High?\u2019<\/em>\u00a0delivers its variety of ideas with gritty sound and intimacy, and simply demands a dispelling of comparisons to TWIABP, thus invalidating the rest of my introduction. Read it, then, as a cautionary tale.<\/span><\/p>\n

If were are willing to ignore how much a given person must admire Oasis to actually name an EP after one of their lyrics, One Hundred Year Ocean<\/strong> actually has a fair bit to offer and, over the course of the EP\u2019s four tracks, seldom recycles its own ideas. \u2018<\/span>Hospital Town<\/span>\u2019 gradually builds from its opening clean slo-mo guitars to a restrained climax, wrapping Shanholtzer\u2019s <\/span>blas\u00e9<\/span> tones in softness that turns to measured grandeur. His oft-repeated line “<\/em><\/span>I hope there is a hell for you”<\/em>\u00a0thus benefits from feeling different on either side of the shift. \u2018<\/em><\/span>Soco Amaretto Bud Light Time\u2019<\/em>\u00a0transitions effortlessly from energetic sections to delicate passages with ease, with crunchy guitar scratching one minute and <\/span>larghetto<\/span> clean licks the other, Shanholtzer\u2019s passionate delivery ever-present. The track twists and turns, perhaps desperately trying to avoid the risk of resorting to tropes, going so far as to unleash a surprisingly effective trumpet finale.<\/span><\/p>\n

&amp;amp;lt;a href=“http:\/\/onehundredyearocean.bandcamp.com\/album\/where-were-you-while-we-were-getting-high” data-mce-href=“http:\/\/onehundredyearocean.bandcamp.com\/album\/where-were-you-while-we-were-getting-high”&amp;amp;gt;Where Were You While We Were Getting High? by One Hundred Year Ocean&amp;amp;lt;\/a&amp;amp;gt;<\/p>\n

Trumpet has a history of marrying well to emotional tracks with twinkle-toned guitars (think This Town Needs Guns\u2019 Elk, and the work of Danish outfit Mimas), and commands an important role in the minute-long \u2018<\/em><\/span>Apples<\/em>\u2019.<\/em> With ever-so-slight hints of the more dynamic horn range of ska, the track\u2019s heavier yet leaner approach finds its hook in the trumpet melodies and a strange anecdote about drinking one\u2019s own urine. Finally, \u2018<\/em><\/span>Magnetic Curses\u2019<\/em>combines nod-inducing guitar work, the dulcet tones of the solitary trumpet, and softly-harmonized self-hating lyrics to beautiful effect. As the instrumentals suddenly crescendo, accompanied by Shanholtzer\u2019s pained wail, this reviewer is reminded of how few second-wave emo bands manage to muster the emotional intensity of their influences, in a way that <\/span>One Hundred Year Ocean<\/strong> quite clearly can.<\/span><\/p>\n

Revival genres are about re-igniting the sentiment of bygone eras without tying its authenticity to a particular set of stylistic codes. As such, <\/span>One Hundred Year Ocean<\/strong>\u2019s \u2018<\/em><\/span>Where Were You When We Were Getting High?<\/em>\u2019<\/em> is an example of how to accomplish that exactly right. Crunchy in parts, intricately delicate in others, mixing melancholia and angst-ridden themes without falling into pathos, Shanholtzer successfully channels the soul of emo through a confidently varied indie exterior. Also, trumpets. <\/span><\/p>\n
