Emo beats bringing back feels

You Blew It! kicks off 2015 much like they did the past year- with a breathtaking release. The Florida emo band decided to pour a year of angst into their latest 7‰Û, Pioneer of Nothing. The three song release makes use of wiry vocals, dissonant chords, and carefully crafted minimalist melodies. “Lanai‰” makes the greatest use of varying elements going on at once, incorporating the full mix of melodic guitar, crooning vocal melodies, and the bright percussion popping throughout the song. The other two tracks are even more mellow, making better use of prominent basslines to carry the song along. This induces a lower shift in general tune, rhythm, and style- making the explosions of wrenching screams all the stronger when they burst through. After their fun Weezer cover EP, Pioneer of Nothing is a more personal sounding path for the band to take, bringing it all back to that needy emo feel.
