Gigi's Recovery

I really enjoyed this. It reminded me a lot of Fontaines D.C and in many ways an in between of their recent record, with their previous albums. Gigi's Recovery has some pretty heavy moments, but is overall a gray-toned album that's writing beautifully relays a sense of isolation and loss. Calling an album gray-toned may not sound like the best compliment, but I mean it as a pure positive here. In the more intense moments, the songs are heavy, dense and full of life. In the softer moments, the sounds are emotional, cold, heartbreaking, and subtle. In both scenarios, there's this gray cloud that covers all of it.

I'm excited to have found another UK post-punk band to fall in love with. Everything I've been hearing from that scene has been amazing, and another addition is always a welcome thing. I've heard Murder Capital's debut record is also a solid album with some darker tones, so I'm excited to check it out.
