Our Take

CEREMONY's latest offering, "The L-Shaped Man", is a brooding and contemplative journey through heartbreak and despair. The band's departure from their usual aggressive punk sound may come as a surprise, but fear not, their trademark intensity is still very much present.

Lead singer Ross Farrar's haunting vocals are the perfect vessel to convey the pain and longing that permeate each track. From the anguished cries of "Exit Fears" to the somber introspection of "Your Life in France", Farrar's emotive delivery is truly captivating.

The album's production, spearheaded by producer John Reis, is crisp and well-balanced, allowing each instrument to shine through while maintaining a sense of unity. The brooding bass lines and echoing guitars create a dark and immersive atmosphere that draws the listener in from the very first note.

Standout tracks include the melancholic "The Separation" and the pulsating "Adult". Each song offers a unique perspective on love and loss, showcasing the band's versatility and maturity.

Overall, "The L-Shaped Man" is a bold and ambitious departure for CEREMONY, solidifying their status as one of the most dynamic and intriguing bands in the indie music scene. So grab a tissue, put on your best black turtleneck, and prepare to have your heartstrings tugged in all the right ways.
