Single Review: Balance And Composure's Reflections

 Balance And Composure - Reflections 

 Hassle/ No Sleep Records

Alternative or post-metal sounding guitars, reminiscent of Deftones, on their new track Reflections, make it clear that Balance and Composure mean to be more than just an alt.-rock band that plays sad songs.  Heavy guitars have always been a part of their vocabulary, but now the guitars seem to be supporting the sound with more than just volume dynamics. They give off a new sense of seriousness that compliments their style of emotive music very well. All the while, maintaining their sound is as simple as adding in the occasional twinkly guitar and having the vocals carry the hard hitting lyrics with tarry in the pitch.

 

      There is a lot of room to maneuver with the post-metal sounds, so if Balance and Composure are looking to explore it and merge its sounds more than they have before into their already distinct style,  the upcoming release could be a solid one for their discography and a unique one for their genre.  

The album “The Things We Think We’re Missing” will be released September 10^th.
