The Hope List delivers rage and sorrow in equal measure, and it is a monumental release for the Cambridge band.
It’s said that adversity instructs art. LTB’s woes have been rewarded with something remarkable: their best record yet.
Finding solace in the fight, The Hope List is a resounding show of strength from Lonely The Brave – one which points towards a future rich with possibility.
'The Hope List' finds the band surging back and sounding invigorated by the hardships they've overcome to get here.
Backed up by powerful guitars and soaring vocals, their brand of intense but atmospheric rock feels rejuvenating.
Stepping inside The Hope List feels like setting foot on a wide open field, where clouds mar the sunlight, but a warmth still radiates all around. A gentle wind flurries, blowing all around while the horizon feels endless.
While it’s far from a dramatic reinvention, there’s enough on display here to ensure that long-time fans will be more than happy, with a consistent array of the arena-ready riffs and post-rock choruses that cemented their name in the first place.
