Emarosa have released their latest album, titled “Peach Club.”
The band have changed and evolved quite a bit throughout their career, and incorporated some more pop leaning and generally more melodic influences in their last full-length and their reimagined EP that featured alternate versions of songs from it. With “Peach Club,” Emarosa have not only incorporated more of those elements with each and every song, but are fully embracing it.
Shown right away from the happy, carefree, and overall fantastic opener and lead single “Givin’ Up,” this record has quite a lot of upbeat and energetic tracks. That track is one of quite a few examples of this, others being the captivating “Hell Of It,” dark, yet catchy “Help You Out,” and “So Bad,” with a huge chorus that is arguably one of the most memorable ones on the record. There are a few tracks on here that, despite being a bit softer musically, still maintain that upbeat energy found on a good amount of the rest of the record. “Get Back Up” builds up to the chorus well, allowing the vocals to shine a lot during that section, and synth-driven IW2DWY embraces the pop influences on this record, but also gives off a more relaxed and laid back vibe, which I loved about it. While a large amount of the songs on here are more uptempo, there are also several moments on here where the band slows down, while also still showing massive amounts of emotion and passion in the performances. Single “Cautious” is a perfect example of this, as those two things show not only through the impressive vocals, but also the equally great instrumental performances as well. Second single and second track “Don’t Cry” incorporates some softer and simpler instrumentals, letting the vocals show once again, and the melodies delivered are unique. In addition to those two tracks, there are also a few ballads on this record, from “xo,” mixing electric and acoustic guitar and providing the strongest vocal performance on the album to the piano led “Comfortable,” which gets more dramatic as it continues, with each instrument bringing more emphasis as they all get added into the mix. The final track “Wait, Stay” is also softer for the most part, but those sections are elevated by some harder hitting ones, and the song fades out well, closing the album perfectly. Emarosa have definitely switched things up this time around and while it’s drastically different from their earlier material, I like the direction they went in with the overall sound on this record, and was really impressed with the release as a whole.
