Late Bloomer - Things Change

C'est encore chez Sorry State records que j'ai dégoté les deux albums d'un groupe de Charlotte, Caroline du Nord, groupe nommé Late Bloomer.

Le dernier disque en date, Things Change, est paru en 2014. Il tourne encore régulièrement sur la platine. J'aime beaucoup le subtil mélange auquel le groupe est parvenu, une musique mélodique, mais pas mièvre, des morceaux qui se distinguent les uns des autres avec classe. Difficile de détecter des influences directes à part peut-être les Wipers ou Hüsker Dü. 

We were children, just staring at the spiderwebs 
We were children, just staring at a wall 
No direction, no confessions, no care at all 

We were children, didn't know what we should hate 
We were unaware that decisions soon become mistakes 
We were children, just staring at the spiderwebs 
We were children, just staring at a wall 

I want it back, I want it all back 
What I wouldn't give to change it all 
I want a new day, less responsibility 
I want it back, I want it all back 

We were young then, now we count the wrinkles on our face 
It was so easy, now we want it all erased 
We were children, just staring at the spiderwebs 
We were children, just staring at a wall 

Sometimes we fall and its harder everyday 
Sometimes we lose but there isn't a better way 
to live this life 

We were children, just staring at the spiderwebs 
We were children, just staring at a wall

Autant te dire que je vais sauter direct sur leur prochain album quand il sortira. Et l'album précédent ? Nettement plus brut, il contient déjà des éléments très intéressants, il est juste moins plein que le second. Je le recommande néanmoins. Tu peux te faire ton idée sur le bandcamp du groupe. Ph.
