Album Notes & Community Reviews

On 'Stage Four', Touch茅 Amor茅 channels the grief of vocalist Jeremy Bolm's mother's passing into a raw and cathartic post-hardcore document. The band expands its sonic palette, tempering visceral screamo with melodic, shimmering guitar work and more dynamic song structures, a balance captured by producer Brad Wood. This thematic weight and musical evolution, which includes a notable guest appearance by Julien Baker, coalesce into a critically acclaimed meditation on loss and a landmark album for the genre.
