Word of Mouth #7: Manners - Pale Blue Light

Pale Blue Light cover art 


'Pale Blue Light' is a release courtesy of Morsecode Recordings.

This very somber, very bluntly worded album dropped six days ago, and it's definitely worthy of a shoutout. You may think that, based on the previous description, this album is of the emo category. Well, you're pretty much dead wrong. This release sees a kind of post-hardcore that is seemingly quite rare these days; down-to-earth, heartfelt, and pissed-off all the more for it. There's no time wasted in pelting you, the listener, with the sonic onslaught of mosh-inducing riffs coupled with the sad, self-reflective lyrics. One example of that can be found in the first link provided above.

Anyway, this wasn't supposed to be a review, but if that's what it takes to get people to hear them out, then so be it. Give this one a whirl, and don't get too lost in that haunting album cover, if you know what's good for you.
