actually looking forward to leaving the city and driving next weekend just because I want to drive around at night and listen to this.
I saw on B&C's Twitter a list of record stores you can buy Light We Made from, and that a free Postcard 7" with a b-side called "Revelation" comes with it. I'm assuming that's this song?
A Walk Through Balance and Composure's New Album, 'Light We Made' - Noisey Cool track by track from Jon. Im going to listen again now with this in mind.
I think Loam is best suited to close the album out of all the songs here and does a good job of fulfilling its role as the closer. The isolated drumbeat at the end thats repeated at the end is a cool way to close out the song and the album in my opinion. It just feels like the most "final" track to me, for whatever reason.
Also reading what Jon has to say about Loam helps place it as the closer. It, for him at least, serves as the conclusion or summation of a lot of the themes on the record.
Yeah, after reading that I get it more and also agree it is the most suited as a closer, but it still isnt all that final in anything but theme. I feel like it would have worked best as a midpoint for the record rather than the last song.
Yeah this record is awesome. Great dynamic between guitars and the bass sounds so good. As much as I defend Yip, I will say that I wish the drums were more crisp, or had a little pop to them
I just realized the guitar line in Mediocre Love is very similar to the one in Hole in the Earth by Deftones.
Fair enough. I disagree, although I'd agree its sentiments of finality aren't quite as strong as I typically prefer out of a closer. But thats only if I'm really nitpicking, I think it's an excellent way to end the album.
i would have been half as interested in this record if they hadn't released postcard first maybe the opener but that would have gotten my expectations too high
Spinning sounds most like their other stuff to me. Would've made sense as the first single but I like postcard more
