Review Summary: Love on repeat, it’s life again
Love comes in and out of our lives and we have very little control over it. It takes advantage of you, and you take advantage of it. It’s breathing and living…
Kyle Durfey
Pianos Become the Teeth’s Wait for Love is nothing but simple. It’s the album that walks you through, quoting Martin Gore, strange love and its highs and lows, romantically juxtaposing them to our lives in general. Lyrics are not focused on one particular relationship or situation, because the main goal here is to show this four-letter word in different shapes and ways. Like remembering passed away father who meant the most, trying to be more like him to your own newborn child. Or the moment of instant falling in love and remissingly reminiscending every feeling about her on your way home. It could even just be a view on a sunlit hill you enjoy every day driving to work. If you’re observant enough, it’s everywhere.
Stay in my veins
I am deserving
Stay in my veins
I'm tired and swerving
Record’s musical side compliments all captured emotions and ideas perfectly. Flow here is almost perfect and with proper attention eliminates first-listen boring repetitive feelings. It’s wonderful how album’s atmosphere can pull you out from everyday hustle and paint your life with emotion. At some point it becomes very relaxing. Will Yup did a flawless work to make the record sound like a real lingering journey. Overall, it reminds me of late Engine Down mixed with some Moving Mountains atmosphere. If this is not a great sound developing for former screamo band, I don't know what is.
It's easy to dislike such different and somewhat slow and calm record, but it works completely from the other side. Wait for Love is Pianos' most grown up and clever album with an incredible message. Love is linked inextricably with human existence, and that’s what the record is all about. You just have to wait for it.
"Love you more" and I'm on my way home
Forgot everything I'll ever know
