Setting the tone with a chorus of affirmative exclamations and a robust alternative rock soundscape, Pressure open All The Things with a sense of subversion and dimensionality, as they share evocative and metaphorical, yet situational lyricism.
We are immediately enamoured by the syncopated vocal stylings, and the screamo-adjacent energy that the band convey. Deep vocal tones fuse with the powerful lead vocalist to create a cohesive and cerebral tapestry of sound.
The opus is laced with with poetic prowess and we are stunned by the minimalist middle eight, which takes on a more meditative and transcendental edge, before a furious guitar solo and the iconic and anthemic final reprise.
We learn that All The Things marks a new beginning for Swedish band Pressure, and follows their newly released album In A Dark Heart We Trust, which we cannot get enough of!
The band confess that All The Things was written “to reflect on the uncompromising urge that passion and yearning can inflict.” They elaborate, “When you meet someone and your mind tells you one thing, your heart also wants you to slow down but your body needs something else. Forbidden? Bad? no, just the urge that makes you do all those things, both good and bad, that bring life and meaning and passion to your life, because what would life be without some danger, a little naughty, a little dirty and a some good experiences? All The Things will help you take a leap into some new and exciting experiences. Let’s live life on the dangerous side a bit!”
We love the message and the tangible depth that Pressure share with their artistry, and have added All The Things to our New Music Spotlight playlist, whilst we continue to stream In A Dark Heart We Trust in full!
