Touché Amoré and Pianos Become the Teeth are back with one
track each on their new split release. Both bands have had success with their
sophomore releases, Touché Amoré’s ‘Parting the Sea between the Brightness and me’
and Pianos Become The Teeth with ‘The Lack long after’. Both bands have a
distinct raw emotion in their songs which makes them powerful to listen to,
this raw emotion is heard in both tracks of this split.
Touché Amoré are first up with their new track ‘Gravity,
Metaphorically’ – the track with begins with a powerful intro with the sound of
pounding drums and low bass line. Jeremy
Bolm’s emotion drilled vocals blend beautifully with the instrumentation, to
create a song so typical of Touché Amoré’s raw sound. The track has a slight
interlude which teases the listener; the track is then built back up again to its
powerful status with Jeremy’s vocals again dominating the sound. Fans of Touché
Amoré will not be used to songs being as long as four minutes, but this track
has just as much potency as the short punchy tracks that make up their two full
length releases. This track is confirmation of their growth as a band, and
works as another step to further success, fans are now anticipating a new full
length hopefully in the near future.
Pianos Become the Teeth ‘Hiding’ showcases a different side
of their sound. ‘The Lack Long After’ was successful because of the piercing
instrumentation and intense vocals. ‘Hiding’ retains the same emotion but has a
much softer riff and the vocals are not as strong in comparison to the tracks
on their sophomore release. The drum
beats are most impressive in this song, blending with the occasional full
release of emotional energy of Kyle Durfey’s lyrics, the front man is known for
producing lyrics that are personal to him and his personal feelings and
emotions are reflected through his fervid vocal performance. This track is very
well written and put together very cleverly, the band seem to have a found a
new sound which they are very comfortable with and should bring them more
success with new releases in the future.
