San Diego’s SeeYouSpaceCowboy have a refined however punishing tackle screamo and metalcore, a hyperactive and expressive model of the stuff that was working wild on the Warped Tour circa 2005. Two years in the past, the band launched their album The Romance Of Affliction, which had manufacturing from Knocked Free’s Isaac Gale and collaborations with members of Underoath and Each Time I Die. (Each Time I Die have been nonetheless a band then.) Right now, SYSC have adopted that LP with a model new standalone single.
SeeYouSpaceCowboy’s new rager “Chewing The Surroundings” covers a complete lot of floor in lower than 4 minutes. The music begins out with contemplative, harmony-heavy stadium emo earlier than going into theatrical chaotic-freakout mode and turning on the heavy-breakdown guitar judders. Lyrically, the band will get into the unusual nature of performing your individual misery for audiences: “That is the way it ends! !Don’t idiot your self! This should be the tip! Swan music!”
Right here’s what bandleader Connie Sgarbossa says concerning the music:
This is without doubt one of the first songs we wrote once we locked ourselves in a cabin within the Poconos to determine what we needed to do with the sound of SYSC shifting ahead. In some way, me saying I needed a waltz half in a music changed into this growth of the chaotic post-hardcore sound we had carried out on The Romance Of Affliction however with sprinkles of latest “brighter” components we needed to sprinkle into the brand new songs that we have been making. This observe served as a proof of idea for the start of enjoying round with no matter we needed to and confirmed us that we are able to push with out the confines of style and magnificence and nonetheless create one thing that sounded cohesive.
Lyrically, this music displays the melodrama and battle of relationships however recontextualized as a theatrical play you might be placing on for the world. It offers with the controversy about whether or not love will be simply bliss and happiness, or if you must acknowledge and settle for the ache and frustration that may and most probably will accompany it, in addition to coping with that realization. “This act is a charade / we forgot our traces / it’s time to improvise / shred this ineffective script / Let’s get a spherical of applause.”
