Don Broco has flirted with metal on previous releases... now it's a serious relationship. The move to a heavier sound feels like a natural progression in the band's career. If there’s one thing holding the album back, even slightly, it’s that much of its strongest material had already been released as singles.
There is nothing musically wrong with this album. The vocals are the main problem. Songs are sometimes ruined by poor delivery and cringe-worthy lyrics. Some lines should've been rerecorded, others rewritten.
For every banger on this album, an underwhelming track lurks to break the momentum.
I've been listening to Low Roar for years, but only recently learned of Ryan's passing. Coincidentally, House in the Woods is probably their most depressing album. It’s soft and quiet, it demands patience, but it rewards that patience with rich, atmospheric beauty.

Intimate and tear inducing. Ichiko Aoba's voice is that of an angel singing you to sleep.
