Youre Not As _____ As You Think

Description

Sorority Noise write important songs. They go to uncomfortable places, unafraid to let the darkness in but theyre also not shy at kicking back until the sorrow subsides. Theyre songs of confusion, anger, life, death, mental health and, most importantly, hope. Theyre what it means to be human. That vulnerability has been Sorority Noises hallmark since they formed in 2013, but its never been as precise as it is on Youre Not As ___ As You Think, their third album. The album, produced by Mike Sapone (Brand New, Taking Back Sunday), is an emotional bulldozer. Singer/guitarist Cameron Boucher, who prefers not to edit or overthink his lyrics, empties both his pen and soul on songs like No Halo, Disappeared and A Portrait Of, tragically vulnerable vignettes that find him coming to terms with the death of close friends. So what youre getting is an emotional bulldozer an unfiltered, inward look at the last year of the bands life thats filled with intimate, visceral details yet remains universally relatable. But even amidst weighty subject matter, Sorority Noise want to give you a sense of resilience: No matter what I feel, its going to be OK, Boucher says. Things are going to be tough, but its going to be fine in the end and you have to keep going because you just have to. This is how its going to be. Youve just got to do it.
