Artist: Brand New
Album: The Devil And God Are Raging Inside Me (2006)
Label: Interscope
Brand New’s latest release (and follow up to ‘Deja Entendu’), ‘The Devil and God are Raging Inside Me’ opens with 'Sowing Season (Yeah)' that warps you into the dark and desperate lyrical world of singer/songwriter, Jesse Lacey. Lacey delivers the song with haunting growls that cut through your soul and in perfect illustration, reverberates the entire record’s ‘sound’ that leaves nothing but a lasting impression.
The album delves deeper into Lacey’s psyche through cryptic and intensely personal lyrics in “Millstone” (a personal favourite), and unexpectedly terrifies you with the chilling requiem that is epically sad, “Limousine (MS Rebridge)”.
Expect a creation that is far beyond anything that any band in this scene is currently creating, there is genius in each song...just don’t expect to be dancing to this record. It is desolate and eerily honest with a smidgen of subtle hope. This record deserves global recognition beyond the underground music scene.

This is how rock music is meant to sound. It's not perfect. But it is genius.
