Harmlessness

Harmlessness cover art

Expanding the traditional emotional parameters of the midwest emo revival, the massive collective heavily integrates sweeping, post-rock orchestrations and shimmering synthesizers. The lyrical themes tackle profound anxieties, trauma, and political disenchantment while stubbornly maintaining a fragile, ultimately uplifting optimism. The sprawling, cinematic song structures solidify it as a monumental text in fourth-wave emo.
