Releasenotes:
Just to Feel Anything, the new album by Emeralds, surpasses all expectations,
just as its predecessor, Does It Look Like IÆm Here, did in 2010. This expertly
recorded new album sees the band deliver plenty of their distinctive aesthetic
for old fans to enjoy while offering a new range of fresh, exciting ideas for
newcomers.
'Before Your Eyes' begins the record with a steady build-up, which bleeds into
humid layers of synthesizer pads and warm guitar. The track sets the tone
perfectly for 'Adrenochrome', a fast-paced excursion into new territory for the
band. The calm after the storm appears in the form of 'Through & Through', with
its contemplative strokes and heart-wrenching atmospherics. 'Everything Is
Inverted' is an energetic rush of monolithic guitar leads, pulsing drum machine,
and driving sequences.
Still, it's on the second half of Just to Feel Anything, a triptych of tracks,
where Emeralds adroitly demonstrate why they are a cut above their
contemporaries. 'The Loser Keeps America Clean' kicks off the b-side by diving
into the deepest fathoms of their experimental oeuvre. As the final bursts of
static dissipate we are led into the opening chords of the eponymous 'Just to
Feel Anything' a new zenith in Emeralds' repertoire. The album closer, 'Search
For Me in the Wasteland' sees mounting layers of brightly strummed guitar chords
blossom into a storm of color and expertly crafted textures-- a truly majestic
end to an immense album.
With Just to Feel Anything, Emeralds shine a laser-sharp light into the future,
while preserving their uniquely intelligent historical perspective. The
long-awaited next chapter in the Emeralds discography is finally here, emerging
as a sophisticated progression in both sound and structure.
