Petal - Shame (Run For Cover Records) 2015
9
“This record is kind of the apology, the confession and the acceptance of the ways I’ve felt shame in my life and trying to share it with others,” explains Petal’s lead singer, Kiley Lotz, about the band’s new album, Shame. Well-crafted and adventurous, Shame is a sunny and cathartic effort, where Lotz’s charismatic and sweet voice is the key element to these near perfect 12 indie-pop-emo songs, that don’t just remind you of the past, but leads you into this whole new and confident ground. With influences from Death Cab For Cutie to Regina Spektor, Shame is a deeply personal, emotional and honest journey into the whole and messy thing called life, where sometimes experience puts everything in perspective and could still be a more-than-worthy pin down expression of our own feelings, thoughts and fears. Amazing!
