REVIEW – Los Angeles Indie Rock Band Petty Human Emotions debuts a new11 track self-titled album. The album explores a myriad of emotions.
“Something New” starts off at a slower pace with an acoustic guitar sound. “Want” is a fast-paced gem with frenetic guitars and a steady drumbeat. “Moonbird” captivates the listener with ocean sounds, a resonating piano setting, and a calming force for a break in the album leading into “The Time It Takes.” “The Time It Takes” begins with “what is the point of letting go” detailing the aspects of coming to terms with a concluding relationship. “Untitled” pay homage to the likes of Weezer with the bouncing guitars and head bopping pace.
Founder James Nardiello describes the origins and themes of the album: “This is a collection of songs that share a tone and a feeling more than anything else. The feeling at the forefront of this project is simple melancholy, longing and loneliness. I felt inspired to include instruments that aren’t typical of the rock genre or to use them in ways that may be unconventional to experiment and execute this. The songs are all tied together musically and thematically in a more abstract way than I had previously written records.”
Petty Human Emotions debut album reflects an impressive debut showing the drive and love of their work the band exhibits in their songs.
