I think it’s safe to say the “emo revival” tag that’s been following the likes of You Blew It!<\/b> is a thing of the past as those part of it continue to show longevity. This is You Blew It!<\/b>’s third full-length following the acclaimed ‘Keep Doing What You’re Doing’<\/i>. Having laid down a favourable, emo-heavy base previously, ‘Abendrot’<\/i> gives YBI<\/b> the opportunity to expand their sound, while lyrically growing with their audience.<\/p>\n

Undoubtedly it proves to be a more considered effort with vocalist Tanner Jones’ mental health providing the lyrical core, as he reflects on growing older (\u2018Minorwye\u2019<\/i>) and accepting change (\u2018Sundial Song\u2019<\/i>). It gives the album a darker tone with \u2018Autotheology\u2019<\/i> serving as the album centrepiece. Its distant build to an intense, fuzz-laden chorus highlights the band\u2019s new layered approach. While Jones\u2019 declaration of \u201cwhen God dies, I\u2019ll skip the funeral\u201d<\/i> is certainly striking.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Stylistically YBI<\/b> border on the line of indie rock and emo with ease. \u2018Forecasting\u2019<\/i> is a subtly stirring highlight while the aforementioned \u2018Minorwye\u2019<\/i> refrains from providing the explosive conclusion you\u2019d expect. Elsewhere \u2018Greenwood\u2019<\/i> wouldn\u2019t sound out of place on one of producer Evan Weiss\u2019 Into It Over It records; well-paced and textured. \u2018Canary\u2019<\/i> is balanced out by striking guitars and a laid back chorus line of \u201cevery day in bloom\u201d<\/i>. Penultimate track \u2018Basin & Range\u2019<\/i> echoes Death Cab for Cutie\u2019s late 2000\u2019s best with its earthly tone.<\/p>\n

Despite how layered and lyrically intriguing \u2018Abendrot\u2019<\/i> is, after a handful of listens it gradually moulds into one. Admittedly over the course of 37 minutes, it flows at a pleasing pace but it ultimately suffers from offering memorable moments. Each track has been tweaked to perfection, allowing the album to flow with ease, yet frustratingly doesn\u2019t leave a lasting impression. <\/p>\n

You Blew It!<\/b> have all the makings of delivering a substantial indie\/emo record. However \u2018Abendrot\u2019<\/i> is a minor stepping stone towards that.<\/p>\n

3\/5<\/p>\n

‘Abendrot’<\/i> by You Blew It!<\/b> is released on November 11th via Big Scary Monsters<\/b>\/Triple Crown Records<\/b>.<\/p>\n
