Wallflowers: Exit wounds 2021 [Digipack / CD]

Time In The Sun is the 4th full length album from Charleston, SC band Susto. The album was written and recorded in the midst of a lot of life changing events for lead writer/singer Justin Osborne. Like everyone around the world, Osborne was navigating the global issues felt from the pandemic while normal life continued with its own blessings and challenges.. <br/><br/>"We were navigating the global and national issues that everyone else was dealing with, but also I became a father and also lost my father. There was a lot of contemplation going on in my brain, a lot of personal evolution going on in my life, and songwriting was my way of working through it all. The title Time in the Sun is meant to be a monument to my own human existence and also a tribute to the human experience in general. I wouldn't claim to understand what it means to be a human, from the countless different perspectives of the world, but I do have my own experience to reflect on and I want to be able to express and explain that in some way. I guess this album is an attempt at that. At the core though, it's just a collection of songs about my life and my feelings."

Wallflowers: Exit Wounds (Purple) [Vinyl LP]

Bakom varje låt på det Nashvillebaserade psych-rockbandets album All Them Witches finns en, ofta outtalad, berättelse och erbjuder en nästan filmisk upplevelse insvept i framåtdrivande rytmer och subtilt funkiga låtar.<br/><br/>"As a band we pull from every moment that we experience," säger sångaren/basisten Charles Michael Parks, Jr. "our influence is not just music, it's our everyday life." <br/><br/>På deras album Dying Surfer Meets His Maker utforskar bandet rockmusikens vidder medan de baserar soundet på ett starkt låtskriveri. <br/><br/>"I like stripped down songwriters," säger Parks, "just a guy and his instrument. But on the new album, each song seems to change multiple times throughout; it makes a five minute song feel like a 20 minute song without the extra time being spent."
