\"image\"While Alkaline Trio haven’t been up to much since the release of ‘My Shame Is True’<\/i> two years ago, its individual members have been keeping busy: Drummer Derek Grant released his debut solo album ‘Breakdown’<\/i> at the start of the year; guitarist Matt Skiba has all but replaced Tom DeLonge in blink-182, and released his second album with The Sekrets last month; but it’s bassist Dan Andriano that has taken perhaps the biggest leap of all. His first album under the Dan Andriano In The Emergency Room<\/strong> moniker was released without much fanfare in 2011, and he spent that summer touring ‘Hurricane Season’<\/em> in a similarly low-key fashion. Four years later, he’s ended up in A&E again, only this time, he’s brought some friends along. DAITER<\/b> is now a fully-fledged band, and the contents of ‘Party Adjacent’<\/em> make for consistently interesting listening.<\/figure>\n

Melodically, it’s as dead-on as you’d expect from one half of Alkaline Trio’s songwriting team, with the energetic lead single ‘Lost’<\/i> providing a shining example of the reasons why Andriano decided to opt for a more expansive sound, exploding into life two minutes in and showing off the prowess of his backing band, which on ‘Party Adjacent’<\/em> includes Jeff Rosenstock of Bomb the Music Industry, who’s also on production duties.<\/p>\n

<\/figure>\n

Opener ‘Pretty Teeth’<\/i> brings some unexpected instrumental colour into the mix from the get-go – glockenspiel, organ, buzzing synths – while flashes of Andriano’s folkier side make themselves known on the likes of ‘Wait’<\/i> and ‘Don’t Have A Thing’<\/i>, songs that will serve as ideal starting points for fans who prefer Andriano’s more stripped-back material. It’s diverse enough that, were it not for his recognisable vocals, one wouldn’t think it was connected to Alkaline Trio in any way.<\/p>\n

True, you could imagine his day job getting away with a song such as ‘Fire Pit’<\/i>, a rough-and-ready rock song that barrels through three-and-a-half minutes with the absolute minimum of fuss, while ‘Enemies’<\/i> suggests he’s been hanging out with Brian Fallon from The Gaslight Anthem, but elsewhere on the album, he takes influence from the recent, so-called “emo revival”<\/i> movement on ‘Haunt Your House’<\/i>, while closing track ‘Snake Bites’<\/i> suggests he’s been listening to some shoegaze on the side. While there are definitely some elements of his previous work here, his second solo record ventures into a surprising amount of new territory, and is impressively cohesive to boot.<\/p>\n
