Secret and Whisper
Great White Whale (Tooth & Nail)
Description:
The songs will attach themselves to you quickly, and this immediacy is something you will not easily find in a band that also preaches (lives by) depth. Consider “XOXOXO,” the first “single.” It is contemporary and accessible, but those are not the song’s defining traits. A waxing, waning, wailing melody from vocalist Charles Furney carries the metallic riffage beyond passion to connection. It’s not screaming, and yet not just singing. It is crying out with notes. Focal tracks such as “The Actress” and “You Are Familiar” follow suit, and will undoubtedly cut and carve space in the post-screamo soundscape redefining (rather than adhering to) the formula for commercial brutality. For fans of Saosin and Circa Survive.
