Track-by-Track Insights

Devotion

“Devotion was one of the last songs we completed, but it turned out to be incredibly impactful. We drew a lot of inspiration from Oasis, infusing a strong Britpop vibe. I crafted the lyrics while on a friend’s rooftop in London, staring at a flickering light – a metaphor for my musical journey.”

Soft Glow

“This track wasn’t initially intended as the first single, but thanks to Century Media’s push, it became our opener. Soft Glow has quickly become a staple for us, and I look forward to hearing the crowd sing along to ‘You are the one that shines on me’.

“This song was nearly left off the album, and I admit I underestimated its potential. We really delved into shoegaze guitar tones, and I believe Kevin Shields would appreciate this one.”

Jawbreaker

“Jawbreaker is our heavy-hitting track. Fun fact: the screeching sound in the breakdown is us shouting into the guitar pickup. It’s a raw moment that captures our energy.”

Evelyn

“With a Jeff Buckley influence, this song took time to perfect the vocal melody. We fully utilized the Fender Blender pedal to achieve the shoegaze sound. I’m particularly proud of the lyrics and can’t wait to perform this live.”

It Hurts to Know You’re There

“This might be the standout track on the album. When Tom introduced the chorus chords, I knew we had something special. My vocal performance here is among my best, and the solo is the only guitar work I contributed to the record.”

To Live in a Different Way

“This track ignited the entire project. I was thrilled with my vocal delivery during the demo recording. It’s a challenging song to perform live, but I embrace the difficulty.”

Sunshine

“I can vividly recall where I was when I first heard the final mix: The Bullring in Birmingham. This song feels like the perfect ending for a film, where the character walks off into the sunset. I hope to hear Sunshine in theaters someday.”

Anemoia

“The title Anemoia is my favorite from the album. It captures a nostalgic feeling for times or places we’ve never known. This track may surprise listeners, as it blends influences from Oliver, Radiohead, and Apex Twin. If you think Love Is Noise only does rock and metal, this song will change your perception.”

Mist

“We’ve dubbed this track Mist as Love Is Noise meets The Beatles. It’s our most experimental piece; we even considered placing the drums solely in the left speaker for that classic sound. Recording this song was emotionally intense for me, culminating in tears during the final take, which ended up being the last recording for the album.”

Ascending

“I penned this song reflecting on death and the importance of living life fully. It’s a powerful realization, emphasizing the need to appreciate everything we have. I also love how it channels the influences of Mogwai, a band I deeply admire.”

Conclusion

To Live in a Different Way is more than just an album; it’s a journey through emotional landscapes, musical experimentation, and personal reflection. With each track, Love Is Noise showcases their versatility and passion for music, making a lasting impression on the hearts of their listeners.
