Young And Heartless
The Pull Of Gravity
LP reissue of Young And Heartless' The Pull Of Gravity. Fans of Brand New, Turnover and Citizen need to check this out! Something many will pick up on is how close the vocals sound to those of everybody’s favorite vocalist Jesse Lacey. And it’s true; while not a perfect match, there’s an undeniable similarity between the two, which is, of course, a very good thing. And it fits, too, since it’s not a stretch to imagine Brand New performing songs like the downbeat “Virgin” or the dynamic “Lord-Well.” Opener “Haunted” details a ruined childhood, the narrator “ride[s] my bike down to Duncan’s to get my dad some cigarettes/he says he needs them like his coffee/and his hopelessness/but I don’t believe him anymore.” Later on he hears his father yelling at his sister and “her packing her bags/I want to go with her but/I’m only fourteen years old.” The song ends on that line, providing us with no sense of closure or resolution at all. “Lord-Well” continues this trend, referencing riding his bike, this time to Allison’s, and then going “to school/ignored my friends/I held my hand for everything/it made me feel less stupid.” So while from a lyrical standpoint, The Pull of Gravity isn’t a positive record, it’s still a great record. And while it may not be happy, it’ll certainly make you happy.

Tigers Jaw
Lost on You
Influential rock band Tigers Jaw returns with Lost on You, a riveting seventh studio album produced by longtime collaborator Will Yip (Turnstile, Scowl). The record builds upon the critical success of 2021’s I Won’t Care How You Remember Me, refining their vulnerable yet self-assured style with newfound dynamics, textures, and tones.Through their chemistry and forthrightness with one another, Tigers Jaw have reached a new apex of creativity, a peak from which the band processes the life changes that eventually come for everyone.Lost On You electrifyingly captures the beauty of simply letting go, remembering that you’ve survived what you’ve already experienced, and knowing that you’ll get through life’s latest transitions. Walsh says that “Primary Colors,” a bright and pensive track with a wailing, melancholy guitar solo, is about “your feelings being completely overwhelmed and taken over. You're experiencing things or seeing feelings in colors. It's an all-encompassing, full-body experience.” It’s meaningful advice in times of crisis: stay present amid the highs and lows alike, and there’s glory to be found.Lost On You is a breathtaking reminder that, no matter what you go through, you’re always in the driver’s seat.
