So Much (for) Stardust

Orchestral grandiosity meets heavy guitar riffs. A cinematic return to form that balances soul-infused vocals with existential, stadium-sized angst.

March 24, 2023 · Fueled By Ramen

Heavy, distorted guitar chugs and sweeping, gothic string arrangements collide to restore a palpable physical weight to the band's sound. This record acts as a cinematic victory lap through a burning building, trading the twitchy electronic textures of the late 2010s for a theatrical, art-rock gravity that feels both older and more introspective.
