After spending months teasing with singles like 'Shadow Voices' and 'Liars', Blood Red Rose are back with their seventh album, 'The High Point Of Low'. Released just a few days ago, the record is a captivating testament to the band's refusal to be boxed in by genre labels, weaving through a tapestry of styles and sounds, from nostalgic indie rock to soaring anthems and haunting gothic melodies.
'Addiction' kicks off the album with a punchy, energetic vibe reminiscent of The Psychedelic Furs and Echo & the Bunnymen. It's a familiar yet invigorating indie rock narrative, given a fresh twist by Blood Red Rose's signature sound. 'I Used To' follows with a more personal, introspective feel, boasting cleaner vocals and a cascading wall of guitar sound.
Some of the album's standout tracks, 'Let You Go' and 'Breakthrough', showcase shimmering electric guitar melodies and personal touches that leave a lasting impression. Meanwhile, 'Light Fades' takes a darker turn, evoking the haunting sounds of The Cure with its textured blend of gothic rock and new wave elements.
On 'Shadow Voices', the band further demonstrates Blood Red Rose's versatility, fusing shoegaze and progressive punk influences into an inescapable sonic experience. The album moves and comes to a close with 'Old Movie', with its steady, rolling beats and White Lies-esque vibes, it provides a triumphant finish, urging listeners to cherish the present moment.
'The High Point Of Low' is a roughly polished, cohesive collection that marks a new peak in Blood Red Rose's musical journey. This album is an impressive listen for fans of indie rock, gothic rock, shoegaze, and everything in between. Blood Red Rose has once again proven their ability to evolve and experiment, delivering an album that's both timeless, modern, and enjoyable.
