The Hamilton band Basement Revolver dropped their second album called Embody via Sonic Unyon Records.
A truthful, soul-baring and personal heavy indie dream pop and alt-rock album.
About the album:
Embody is about my journey towards healing.
It is about reconnecting this fleshy vessel that I occupy with my mind and my identity.
It is about learning how to love this part of myself that I have zero control over.
Embody is an album of friendship, of working out identity together, and making deeply personal art.
Embody is the sound of freedom, especially in the midst of such pain, both locally and globally.
Trading tracks virtually, missing the camaraderie of weekly rehearsals, and the isolation of that means that the album is full of hopeful waiting: to tour, of course, but also to engage these new understandings together, on the road.
The album is explicit about these new ideas and new thoughts, addressing them with a deeper sound and crisper production to adroitly express the complexity of the world. It is an album of friendship, of working out identity together, and making deeply personal art.
Coming out in the middle of pandemic means that embodiment has to take new forms, and this album is one of those ways forward. This record, with its complex sonic landscape, sometimes lush and sometimes stark, is of a piece with their earlier work, but it’s deeper and more self-aware.
