"No, on their new single "I'm Crying, Are You?", Ponthier is pretty open about not being okay. The track finds them in the throes of some serious post-breakup sadness, and they're frequently breaking down in sobs whilst in public. If it's this bad for them, Ponthier wonders, how could the other walk away so easily? Though there's some harrowing angst at the center of the track, Ponthier keeps things light and dreamy,"
"Along with the announcement of their upcoming double album, Peace and Purpose, Canadian post-punkers Crack Cloud have shared the new song "Safe Room." It's a softer, more melancholic side of the often raucous group, featuring sequenced drums, acoustic guitar chords, and compressed, emotive vocals. In a statement on the creation of Peace and Purpose, frontman Danny Choy highlighted the record's DIY construction and grief-stricken tone - two aspects that "Safe Room" more than effectively displays. - Jonah Krueger"
August Ponthier's "I'm Crying, Are You?" centers on post-breakup sadness, with frequent public sobbing set against light, dreamy production that retains majesty and honesty. Crack Cloud's "Safe Room" reveals a softer, melancholic side through sequenced drums, acoustic guitar chords, and compressed, emotive vocals, reflecting DIY construction and a grief-stricken tone. Haute & Freddy's "Dance the Pain Away" channels '80s-influenced dance pop with high drama, pulsing poise, and cathartic dance-floor energy, appearing on the forthcoming debut Big Disgrace. Fans of dramatic pop and emotionally textured post-punk will find distinct emotional and sonic contrasts across these releases.
