Straight Line Arrival - Out of Touch

Review by Joan Clare Yerro

Straight Line Arrival's latest album, Out of Touch, is an impressive collection of ten tracks that showcase their dynamic range and musical prowess. The band's signature blend of alternative rock and post-punk influences are evident throughout the record, but they also experiment with new sounds and textures that add depth and complexity to their sound.

The album opens with "The Way We Were", a high-energy track that sets the tone for the rest of the record. The driving drums and guitar riffs create a sense of urgency, while the catchy chorus will have listeners singing along in no time. "Out of Touch", the title track, slows things down a bit with its moody atmosphere and introspective lyrics. The haunting vocals and atmospheric guitar work make this track a standout.

Other highlights on the album include "Broken Mirror", a brooding track that builds to an explosive climax, and "Echoes", a dreamy, atmospheric ballad that showcases the band's more experimental side. The album closes with "The End of the Line", a fitting conclusion that brings everything full circle.

Summary by Joan Clare Yerro

Out of Touch is a strong album that will appeal to fans of alternative rock, post-punk, and indie music. Straight Line Arrival has crafted a cohesive and engaging record that showcases their growth as musicians and songwriters.
