Barge - LOSE

Review by Vida Blackmoor

Barge's latest album, LOSE, is a powerful and emotional journey through the depths of loss and heartbreak. The band's unique blend of post-hardcore and alternative rock creates a hauntingly beautiful sound that perfectly captures the raw emotions of the lyrics.

From the opening track, "Ghost," the listener is immediately drawn into the haunting atmosphere of the album. The vocals are raw and emotive, perfectly conveying the pain and anguish of the lyrics. The guitars are heavy and atmospheric, creating a sense of tension and unease that runs throughout the album.

Tracks like "Cry," "Fading," and "Drown" are powerful and cathartic, with each song building to a crescendo of emotion that is both heart-wrenching and inspiring. The band's ability to switch seamlessly between heavy, distorted riffs and softer, more melodic passages is truly impressive, adding depth and nuance to the already powerful lyrics.

Summary by Vida Blackmoor

LOSE is a stunning achievement for Barge. The album is a testament to the power of music to heal and connect us all, even in our darkest moments. Whether you're a fan of post-hardcore or alternative rock, this album is not to be missed. Highly recommended.
