Their new work keeps their old sound, featured on their 2022 <em>My Will Is Not My Own <\/em>LP, but presents it in a lighter (yet still gothic) tone while maintaining the \u201cdarkwave,\u201d atmosphere they cultivate so well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cFar From Me,\u201d keeps the speedball rolling following their last single, \u201cCoke,\u201d and leans heavily into the brighter mainstream 80\u2019s sound of heavy reverb-, most noticeably on the overt percussion and vocals.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Other artists who attempt the bold feat of amping up certain sounds over others often flop due to poor production. \u201cFar From Me,\u201d sticks the landing with echoey guitar, deep bass and airy keyboard that coalesce into one soundscape layered under the drums and vocals.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>On paper, the song\u2019s lyrics about realizing you need a distant partner read as corny. However, when delivered over the ethereal instrumentation, exceptional baritone vocals, timing and right amount of reverb, Give My Remains to Broadway adds the finishing touch to an already engaging piece.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cFar From Me,\u201d is not anything too mind-blowing or inventive, but nonetheless the band produced the sound they sought superbly with surgical precision on the mixing board.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><em>8\/10<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><em>Lucas Bustinski For The B-Side<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-spotify wp-block-embed-spotify wp-embed-aspect-21-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe title=\"Spotify Embed: Far From Me\" style=\"border-radius: 12px\" width=\"100%\" height=\"352\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen allow=\"autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; fullscreen; picture-in-picture\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/open.spotify.com\/embed\/album\/3hcSlLxYaEm7s7jFhexwHc?si=ZxZoFmwLTuyvDHm_yDeHQA&#038;utm_source=oembed\"><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>1 lb goth, 2 lbs reverb, 1 cup finely minced production and a pinch of the void.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":5,"featured_media":2673,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"activitypub_content_warning":"","activitypub_content_visibility":"","activitypub_max_image_attachments":3,"footnotes":""},"categories":[10,9],"tags":[184,129,125,124,183,22,185],"ppma_author":[213],"class_list":["post-2672","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-newsfeed","category-reviews","tag-canadian-music","tag-new-music","tag-new-release","tag-new-singles","tag-post-punk","tag-toronto","tag-up-and-coming"],"authors":[{"term_id":213,"user_id":5,"is_guest":0,"slug":"lucasbustinski","display_name":"Lucas Bustinski","avatar_url":"https:\/\/agoria.ca\/thebsideblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/20240516_210845-96x96.jpg","author_category":"","first_name":"Lucas","last_name":"Bustinski","user_url":"","job_title":"","description":""}],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/agoria.ca\/thebsideblog\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2672","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/agoria.ca\/thebsideblog\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/agoria.ca\/thebsideblog\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/agoria.ca\/thebsideblog\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/5"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/agoria.ca\/thebsideblog\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2672"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/agoria.ca\/thebsideblog\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2672\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":2675,"href":"https:\/\/agoria.ca\/thebsideblog\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2672\/revisions\/2675"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/agoria.ca\/thebsideblog\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2673"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/agoria.ca\/thebsideblog\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2672"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/agoria.ca\/thebsideblog\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2672"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/agoria.ca\/thebsideblog\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2672"},{"taxonomy":"author","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/agoria.ca\/thebsideblog\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/ppma_author?post=2672"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
