Touch Amor have never really fit into any scene, too heavy for pop-punk, not heavy enough. In fact, the only tracks on here that retain a semblance of Touch’s abrasive early. ‘Lament’, the newest album from post-hardcore act Touch Amore, could arguably be their most outspoken work as a group that seems to be clearly focused on brightening up their sound. The album arrives as the follow-up to the band’s. Review Summary: Touch Amore bow their heads and leave out the back. After over a decade of working through darkness, Lament, finds the light at the end of the tunnel. Since their formation in 2007, Touch Amor has been burrowing through angst, alienation, cancer, and death throughout four adored studio albums. The title track vocals are especially poignant, A Broadcast features surprisingly effective folk influences, and I’ll Be Your Host delivers a bittersweet unison of resigned lyrics and dancing fretwork. Lament feels like it’s been scratched in the upper corner of a high school desk. Los Angeles post hardcore band Touch Amor's fifth studio album Lament is available now.
The urgent yells and builds of Limelight, featuring Manchester Orchestra’s Andy Hull, grow more convincing with each listen. Written in response to the death of frontman Jeremy Bolm. It manages to easily match the highs of their 2016 release ‘Stage Four’ an emotional tour-de-force best described as a prolonged howl of mourning. So while Lament is unmistakably Touché Amoré, the bubbling melodies and diverse musical influences make it more accessible than before and there is barely a weak track to be found. ‘Lament’ feels like a bittersweet victory lap for California-based band Touché Amoré. Touché Amore Lament (Epitaph) If you’ve watched the music video for Touché Amoré’s Reminders, an excellent song off their new album Lament, you’d be forgiven for being confused as to why such a dark band made such an adorable music video about things that bring joy. Lament has much in common with that but, although the lyrics are still raw, the music has evolved to sound more hopeful and even triumphant at times. 2016’s Stage Four, which laid bare frontman Jeremy Bolm’s struggle to cope with the loss of his mother to cancer, was more vulnerable and less heavy than previous efforts but particularly powerful as a result. Throughout Lament, Stage Four’s excellent follow-up, Touché Amoré explore the themes of a band grappling with the idea of fame, with Bolm crumbling under the weight of being heralded as an emotional crutch for the fans so invested in both he and his band.
