Atlanta, Georgia based O'Brother will release their third full-length album Endless Light on March 25th through Triple Crown Records. The album was produced by Andy Hull, Robert McDowell (Manchester Orchestra, Bad Books) and Brad Fisher. That signature alternative/grunge rock vibe is present again (complete with fuzzed out distortion and crushing riffs), but the production and songwriting is more refined this time around.
Endless Light may not be as heavy as their first album Garden Window, but it follows in the footsteps of their sophomore effort Disillusion with its experimentation. The experimental aspect is more polished and determined on Endless Light, and sees the band going in to brand new territory. "Bloodlines" was the first track released from Endless Light and sets the overall feel of the album. Title track "Endless Light" is one of the more sonic and intricate tracks on the album, while "Black Hole" dives into pop rock territory and could be the one that takes O'Brother to the next level. "I Am (Become Death)" may very well be the most powerful track on Endless Light, while "Realm of the Physical" closes the album brilliantly.
O'Brother have outdone themselves with this album, from the songwriting to the production. This is by far my favorite composition from the Atlanta five-piece. It could very well be the album that helps them transition into the rock mainstream.
