You Blew It, All Get Out and Free Throw announce 2017 tour

They still strain their voices like a Midwest ’90s emo band, and there’s a mathy riff here and there, but this is largely a huge departure from anything they’d done prior. The songs are more dynamic, the tempos shift more often, and they’ve introduced gorgeous atmospheres and vocal harmonies. It sort of sounds like Braid writing a record with Manchester Orchestra after listening to a lot of Caspian. As you usually expect from an emo band, the lyrics are dramatic and earnest, though YBI avoid the genre stereotype of singing about unrequited love. The album tackles inner turmoil, religion, and death; and sometimes those latter two pop up in the same song. Its most memorable moment is on “Autotheology,” when they sing “When God dies I’ll skip the funeral.” [from Notable Releases of the Week (11/11)]

You Blew It released their great new album Abendrot on Triple Crown this past Friday, and now they announced a 2017 tour in support of it. They’ll be taking along All Get Out and Free Throw.
