Their music, which somehow seamlessly combines ': ,: shoegaze, Britpop, post-punk, hardcore and black-metal into an :, : impossibly cohesive sound, is the sum of their parts. Heather : :' Black pounds her bass like sheÆs ripping a basement punk set ': ,: before delivering sweet vocal harmonies straight out of the C86 :, : compilation. Nick Tolliday pummels his drums with the reckless : :' abandon of the hardcore scene that birthed the band. All the ': ,: while, dual guitarists Alex Pomeroy and Giles Roy offer :, : intricate, complex riff interplay as often as they stomp their : :' pedals and break into hard-hitting power chords. ': ,: :, : ôPeople seem to be rightfully wary of rock in general,ö frontman : :' Giles Roy says, admitting that his bandÆs complicated genre ': ,: blending is rooted in the familiar. ôI like the underdog :, : feeling.ö That scrappiness is self-evident, but make no mistake: : :' Woolworm are anything but underdogs. ': ,: :, : The bandÆs third album Awe (due out November 8 via Mint) expands : :' the bandÆs already robust songbook even further by offering a ': ,: new take on their heavy, hardcore-inflected indie pop sound. The :, : bandÆs bleakly fulfilling 2017 LP Deserve to Die saw them : :' smashing their heads against the wall, meticulously planning ': ,: every note before entering a real studio with venerable :, : Vancouver producer Jesse Gander. This time around, they recorded : :' with labelmate Jay Arner whenever the inspiration hit. ': ,: :, : ôEven though some of these songs date back to before Deserve To : :' Die, we allowed ourselves to be spontaneous and open-minded ': ,: here and took a collage approach to the overall record,ö Roy :, : says of Awe. ôWe let it be scrappier and more diverse and less : :' symmetrical.ö ': ,: :, : The result is a collection of songs that are bristling with : :' immediacy and, well, life. ôDeserve To Die was a sort of ': ,: exorcism, and this oneÆs more of a meditation,ö Roy continues. :, : ôThat one took so long to write and record that finally : :' releasing it had a cathartic effect. But now weÆre done with ': ,: death. For the foreseeable future, at least. This is more of a :, : life record.ö : :' ': ,: ôHold the Bow,ö the first single from Awe, puts these ideas into :, : perspective. WoolwormÆs minor-chord melancholy is still featured : :' throughout, but the songÆs uptempo, off-kilter rhythms and ': ,: general urgency amp up the bandÆs delivery. Even RoyÆs :, : despondence is countered by some optimism as he sings ôI donÆt : :' need you to be mine / Just to know that you exist is enough.ö ': ,: :, : The bleakness of Deserve to Die has also dissipated thanks to : :' WoolwormÆs relationship to CanadaÆs music community writ large. ': ,: The bandÆs malleable sound has allowed them to play recent shows :, : with artists as diverse as country pop crooner Orville Peck and : :' mysterious hardcore legends Integrity, and no one has batted an ': ,: eye. As a result, Woolworm have connected with audiences and :, : likeminded musicians around the country. : :' ': ,: ôUltimately, I think the album is about other people ù trying to :, : relate to someone, sometimes succeeding brilliantly, sometimes : :' failing horrifically. Just the process of connecting with ': ,: anyone is such a trip,ö Roy says. ôItÆs so fucked up to have a :, : real person in front of you and know that youÆre each just : :' hiding in your own mind. You can wind up knowing them pretty ': ,: well but you will never know what itÆs like to actually be them. :, : So weÆre all alone in our own realities, but then weÆre all : :' constantly trusting each other in so many ways. That can go ': ,: horribly wrong, but when it goes right, thatÆs the most :, : beautiful thing I can think of.ö : :' ': ,: Overwhelming feelings, lived-in melodies and masterful rock :, : music. ItÆs all more than enough to inspire Awe. : :' ': : ' '.. ..' .. . :........... . . . . ............: . . ______________ ______________ \ / \ / \ / Shout out to all our homies from: \ / \ / \ / \ / iPC BOSS HiT2000 1way UKi i8 RNS \ / \ / RAGEMP3 MANDY DV8 pLAN9 BUTT \ / \ / \ / \/ ____ ____ \/ \ / F A N G \ / \/ 2 0 1 9 \/
