Artist: O’Brother
Track: “Complicated End Times”
O’Brother’s latest post-hardcore conquest Endless Light is a sweeping triumph. It’s a prolific enough record that at some point in 2016, you’ll probably have no choice but to hear about it. Reminiscent of both Thrice and Manchester Orchestra, the album bestows a level of grit and atmosphere that is rarely combined so successfully. The guitars are fiery and scorch the air, the drums and vocals have a presence that fills the room, and the songwriting is so tight that each song feels like a continuation of the one that preceded it. Amidst an album that is practically devoid of flaws, “Complicated End Times” stands out as the clear pinnacle. Everything about it is ominous, from the terrorizing reverberated guitars during the opening sequence to the breathy and mysterious ooh‘s that effortlessly bring the swirling walls of flame to a cool, soothing close. Like the album, the way the song progresses within itself is a thing of beauty…and it’s something you can only begin to appreciate by immersing yourself in every aspect of O’Brother’s sprawling, free-flowing rock aura.
