The former threatened to take them into formulaic territory. However, its follow-up blended into melancholy pop-rock into <strong>TSSF<\/strong>&#8216;s pop-punk fabric. Fast-forward six years, <strong>The Story So Far<\/strong> has once again evolved. For starters, <a href=\"https:\/\/lambgoat.com\/news\/36394\/the-story-so-far-kick-out-founding-bassist-kelen-capener\/comments\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">founding bassist Kellen Capener departed the band in 2022<\/a>, being one of several personal and professional changes in the group. For vocalist Parker Cannon, the intervening years saw the passing of his father due to throat cancer.<\/p>\n<p>While his grief threads together this 10-track collection, it far from takes away from the urgency delivered. On here, they rarely pass the three-minute mark, opting to confidently cut off the unnecessary fat. Straight out the gate <em>&#8216;All This Time&#8217;<\/em> bursts with vibrancy. Drummer Ryan Torf&#8217;s pounding drums roll into Kevin Geyer and Will Levy&#8217;s energetic guitars while Cannon reflects on his loss; <em>&#8220;Because you said you wanted out, But there&#8217;s still so much pain now&#8221;.\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Stylistically, <strong>The Story So Far<\/strong> has considerably reverted to their former fast-paced, bouncy pop-punk selves. Yet when the likes of <em>&#8216;Watch You Go&#8217;<\/em>,\u00a0<em>&#8216;Jump The Gun&#8217;<\/em> and <em>&#8216;Big Blind&#8217;<\/em> serve up bold, favourable hooks, you quickly forgive them for taking such a route. Torf&#8217;s drum work is well worth a mention, standing out with his earthly drums on\u00a0<em>&#8216;Keep You Around&#8217;s<\/em> verses or providing a rugged base on <em>&#8216;Nothing to Say&#8217;<\/em>. While as a unit,<\/p>\n<p>Lyrically, the youthful angst has been replaced by sincerity, as you&#8217;d expect. Throughout Parker reflects on complex relationships, introspection, and the struggle to move on. It&#8217;s the latter that he regularly wrestles with. On\u00a0<em>&#8216;You&#8217;re Still In My Way&#8217;,<\/em> he sings\u00a0<em>&#8220;I just wanna trade you places and take me instead&#8221;<\/em>, as his father&#8217;s passing ruminates in his mind.\u00a0<em>&#8216;White Shores&#8217;<\/em> does hint at some form of comfort. The first of a two-part acoustic-heavy finale, Cannon&#8217;s words are full of gratitude yet ache with loss. The second is the album&#8217;s title track, which hones in on the raw emotion by stripping things back to just plucky acoustics and sombre harmonies.<\/p>\n<p>Even though the welcomed flashes of <em>&#8216;Proper Dose&#8217;<\/em>s expansive Brit-pop influence are absent here, <strong>The Story So Far<\/strong> have mixed their favourable brand of pop-punk with mature songwriting. The end result is the sound of a band reinvigorated, leaning into their strengths and allowing them to confidently explore cathartic songwriting.\u00a0\u00a0<em>&#8216;I Want To Disappear&#8217;<\/em> is sure to strengthen <strong>The Story So Far<\/strong>&#8216;s lasting impact in pop-punk.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<figure id=\"attachment_95641\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-95641\" style=\"width: 800px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" id=\"alcest\" class=\"size-large wp-image-95641\" src=\"https:\/\/alreadyheard.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/Alcest-1000x667.jpeg\" alt=\"Alcest\" width=\"800\" height=\"534\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/alreadyheard.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/Alcest-1000x667.jpeg 1000w, https:\/\/alreadyheard.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/Alcest-300x200.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/alreadyheard.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/Alcest-768x512.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/alreadyheard.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/Alcest.jpeg 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-95641\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Photo Credit: Andy Julia<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h2>Alcest &#8211; Les Chants De L&#8217;Aurore<\/h2>\n<p>For close to 25 years, <strong>Alcest<\/strong>&#8216;s founder and multi-instrumentalist St\u00e9phane &#8220;Neige&#8221; Paut has been delivering genre-defining post-black metal. Along with drummer Jean &#8220;Winterhalter&#8221; Deflandre, he&#8217;s repeatedly blended dark and light sound palettes with stunning execution. Album number seven,\u00a0<em>&#8216;Les Chants de l\u2019Aurore&#8217;<\/em> (<em>&#8216;The Songs of Dawn&#8217;<\/em>), considerably hones in on the lighter side of\u00a0<strong>Alcest<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>Neige and Winterhalter conjurer up a stunning and uplifting record that confidently captures the notion of escapism. Tracks such as <em>&#8216;Komorebi&#8217;<\/em> and\u00a0<em>&#8216;L&#8217;Envol&#8217;<\/em> lean into sweeping post-rock with grace as guitars ring out amongst Winterhalter&#8217;s pounding percussion and occasional double bass drum pedalling. The latter&#8217;s later moments welcome some guttural screams amongst its cinematic soundscape. It&#8217;s a succulent opening pairing that leaves the remainder of <em>&#8216;Les Chants de l\u2019Aurore&#8217;<\/em> with a big task to follow.<\/p>\n<p>Nevertheless, the blackgaze-soaked <em>&#8216;Am\u00e9thyste&#8217;\u00a0<\/em>with its flashes of chaotic drum work, metallic distortion, and black metal screams reaffirms <strong>Alcest<\/strong>&#8216;s consistency. Likewise, <em>&#8216;Flamme Jumell&#8217;<\/em>, serves as the guiding light through &#8216;<em>Am\u00e9thyste&#8217;s <\/em>dark tunnel, sounding radiant, blissful, and gigantic in equal measure. It considerably pushes\u00a0<strong>Alcest<\/strong>&#8216;s soaring capabilities as far as possible, aided by laid-back drums and harmonious vocals.<\/p>\n<p>Next up,\u00a0<em>&#8216;R\u00e9miniscence&#8217;<\/em> offers a piano-led interlude with Neige&#8217;s distant vocals and sweeping strings providing a brief and tranquil moment to\u00a0<strong>Alcest<\/strong>&#8216;s expansive sound. Yet\u00a0<em>&#8216;L\u2019Enfant De La Lune&#8217;<\/em> soon arrives with full force as blast beats awakens the chaos. Shifting with dynamism between fierce black metal and towering post-metal, it&#8217;s a riveting example of\u00a0<strong>Alcest<\/strong>&#8216;s ability. All the while wrapping it up a sonically stunning wall of sound.<\/p>\n<p><em>&#8216;L\u2019Adieu&#8217;<\/em> (<em>&#8216;The Farewell&#8217;<\/em>) ideally closes the seven-track outing in a pensive fashion. Tender, ringing guitars gently complement Neige&#8217;s reflective words, building a well-balanced sense of comfort and finality. Its pace and tone weave with ease, never threatening to break its banks.<\/p>\n<p>As musicians and songwriters, Neige and Winterhalter show they have mastered the wide-scope mix of post-black metal, shoegaze, and post-rock. Throughout\u00a0<em>&#8216;Les Chants De L&#8217;Aurore&#8217;, <\/em>their pacing and execution are precise, resulting in a captivating record. They never aim to be ambiguous or egotistical in their approach. They simply want to take listeners on a journey.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" id=\"TDS\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-96298\" src=\"https:\/\/alreadyheard.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/PROMO-22ND-MAY-1000x667.jpg\" alt=\"The Dangerous Summer\" width=\"800\" height=\"534\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/alreadyheard.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/PROMO-22ND-MAY-1000x667.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/alreadyheard.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/PROMO-22ND-MAY-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/alreadyheard.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/PROMO-22ND-MAY-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/alreadyheard.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/PROMO-22ND-MAY-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/alreadyheard.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/PROMO-22ND-MAY-2048x1366.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/p>\n<h2>The Dangerous Summer &#8211; Gravity<\/h2>\n<p>Despite their various backline changes, two constants have been in <strong>The Dangerous Summer<\/strong>&#8216;s career. The first is the presence of vocalist and bassist AJ Perdomo, with him routinely supplying the second; life-affirming emo rock anthems. Now seven albums deep into their existence,\u00a0<em>&#8216;Gravity&#8217;\u00a0<\/em>is the second record to come from the current incarnation of\u00a0<strong>TDS<\/strong>. It&#8217;s completed by guitarist Josh Withenshaw and drummer Christian Zawacki. While the personnel has evolved since their 2009 beloved debut,\u00a0<em>&#8216;Reach for the Sun&#8217;<\/em>,\u00a0<strong>TDS<\/strong>&#8216;s style has hardly changed.<\/p>\n<p>However, that&#8217;s far from a criticism. Perdomo and company display an assured sound that is simply comforting to hear. From the outset, songs such as\u00a0<em>&#8216; I Feel More Like Myself When I&#8217;m Losing It&#8217;<\/em> and <em>&#8216;Pacific Ocean&#8217; <\/em>thrive with Perdomo&#8217;s distinct vocals and diaristic words, with escalating melodies wrapped around warm instrumentation. It&#8217;s a formula that is executed with confidence as\u00a0<em>&#8216;Gravity&#8217;<\/em>s plucky title track, and later,\u00a0<em>&#8216;Where Did All The Time<\/em> Go&#8217; shows.<\/p>\n<p>Admittedly, the scope <strong>TDS<\/strong> comfortably sits in rarely strays further afield. <em>&#8216;What&#8217;s An Hour Really Worth&#8217;\u00a0<\/em>and\u00a0<em>&#8216;You&#8217;ll See It All Coming&#8217;<\/em> utilise some slick production, adding to the cinematic shine that <strong>The Dangerous Summer<\/strong> is capable of pulling off.\u00a0<em>&#8216;Turning Love Into War&#8217;<\/em> hints there&#8217;s some grit underneath their vibrant fingernails. Whereas <em>&#8216;With My Pen&#8217;<\/em> sees Perdomo sing about crashing the car to kill the passengers, yet it&#8217;s done to enhance the troublesome introspective narrative. He&#8217;s never afraid to give an insight into his mindset. Whether that&#8217;s cathartic grief on <em>&#8216;Clouds In My Eyes<\/em>&#8216;, the familiar trait of escapism (see <em>&#8216;You&#8217;ll See It All Coming&#8217;<\/em>), or chasing highs (<em>&#8216;What&#8217;s An Hour Really Worth&#8217;).\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Ultimately,\u00a0<em>&#8216;Gravity&#8217;<\/em> falls somewhere between being appreciative and reassuring, and sounding all too familiar. This is partly due to the fact it&#8217;s anchored by a tried and tested style of bold alt-rock, yet it&#8217;s rarely outstanding.\u00a0<strong>The Dangerous Summer<\/strong> do hit the occasional high here, especially early on. While the style is consistent, the quality isn&#8217;t quite on par.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h2 id=\"list\">What is out on #NewMusicFriday?<\/h2>\n<p>The Story So Far &#8211; I Want To Disappear<br \/>\nAlcest &#8211; Les Chants De L&#8217;Aurore<br \/>\nThe Dangerous Summer &#8211; Gravity<br \/>\nBlack Veil Brides &#8211; Bleeders<br \/>\nearthtone9 &#8211; In Resonance Nexus<br \/>\nThe Used &#8211; Medz<br \/>\nThe Mysterines &#8211; Afraid of Tomorrows<br \/>\nKittie &#8211; Fire<br \/>\nThornhill &#8211; Live On Tour!<br \/>\nWage War &#8211; Stigma<br \/>\nOther Half &#8211; Dark Ageism<br \/>\nWild Spelks &#8211; A House Full Of Strangers<br \/>\nAvril Lavigne &#8211; Greatest Hits<br \/>\nNothing &#8211; Auditory Trauma: Nothing Isolation Sessions (Live)<br \/>\nSaosin &#8211; Live At The Garden Amphitheater<br \/>\nWithin Temptation &#8211; Worlds Collide: Live in Amsterdam<br \/>\nCavalera &#8211; Schizophrenia<br \/>\nSumac &#8211; The Healer<br \/>\nTether &#8211; Mirror Work<br \/>\nForeign Hands &#8211; What&#8217;s Left Unsaid<br \/>\nAttendant &#8211; State Of Disarray<br \/>\nMEST &#8211; Youth<br \/>\nAlong Came A Spider &#8211; The Fall<br \/>\nBattlesnake &#8211; The Rise And Demise Of The Motorsteeple<br \/>\nMOUSES &#8211; bwywtb<br \/>\nRendezvous Point &#8211; Dream Chaser<br \/>\nChaser &#8211; Small Victories<br \/>\nAnchorage &#8211; Uncontrolled<br \/>\nAphasia &#8211; The Sound Of Suffering: Part 1<br \/>\nChasing Shadows &#8211; Reflections<br \/>\nGround2a &#8211; Communication<br \/>\nSoulFang &#8211; Passions, Potions, Wicked Lullabies<br \/>\nThe Fever Kings &#8211; The Fever Kings EP<br \/>\nTALKER &#8211; I&#8217;m Telling You The Truth<br \/>\nHalfway To Neptune &#8211; On These Walls<br \/>\nSons of Arrakis &#8211; Volume II<br \/>\nStunt Pilots &#8211; The Takeoff<br \/>\nAmber &#8211; Room For Understand<br \/>\nSleep In \/ Glazed &#8211; Lickety Split<\/p>\n<p><em id=\"playlist\">If you think I&#8217;ve missed something or have a new album\/EP\/song to tell us about, tell us about it <a href=\"https:\/\/alreadyheard.com\/staging\/releasesubmission\">here<\/a>.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><iframe title=\"Spotify Embed: #NewMusicFriday\" style=\"border-radius: 12px\" width=\"100%\" height=\"352\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen allow=\"autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; fullscreen; picture-in-picture\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/open.spotify.com\/embed\/playlist\/5QJ3ivfXxJG8bc1CvaAjzy?si=a152801622704497&#038;utm_source=oembed\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>If you&#8217;re looking for the latest tracks focusing on rock, punk, hardcore, metal, emo, and everything in between, then check out our <em>&#8216;Newish Music&#8217;<\/em> playlist on <a href=\"https:\/\/alreadyheard.com\/staging\/newishmusic\">Spotify<\/a> or <a href=\"https:\/\/alreadyheard.com\/staging\/newishmusicAM\">Apple Music<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This week&#8217;s roundup highlights new releases from The Story So Far, Alcest, and The Dangerous Summer.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":96449,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[2329,161],"tags":[17572,19],"class_list":["post-96444","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-features","category-playlists","tag-newmusicfriday","tag-released-this-week"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.7 -
