Lodge Mira dropped their banger-filled album, “Pity Celebration”, and it is secure to say that I could have already ruined the overview for you.
We have beforehand had their music adorning our website earlier than – and for good causes, as we are able to simply see them doing massive issues sooner or later – and quick ahead to now, with a full album earlier than our eyes, I could not wait as soon as I first knew of it.
“Pity Celebration” is a hook-loaded indie rock rollercoaster that proves Lodge Mira are right here to get together—and progress.
The album’s centerpiece is their greatest tune of the final couple of years, so if you wish to get caught into the juicy middle of all of it, you’ll want to skip to “Making Progress”.
Two of the early contenders within the album is the opening minimize “America’s Favorite Pasttime”, which is a riff-filled tune that’s positive to seize the ears of anybody who dares to pay attention in, it is infectious and is actually is stuffed with hooks galore. The opposite belter that we fell in love with on the primary pay attention was “Melissa”. Now I’ve obtained an issue with this. First off, it has no proper to be so bouncy and vibrant in 2025 – as this feels prefer it’s been lifted proper from the 2010s, very particularly, Two Door Cinema Membership’s second album. Vocally, it’s good for a stable sing-along and is but once more Lodge Mira showcasing their unimaginable expertise with some addictive sounds.
As talked about earlier, the core of the album is the most important minimize, and the following half of the album would not fail to ship, both. We go from tracks like “Runner”, which is extra of a laid-back monitor, oddly sufficient (regardless of it is title) to some Bloc Celebration-infused sounds in “Stone’s Throw” and the scorching “Again to the Bed room”.
Honbestly, the again finish of the album is crammed to the brim with goodness, and it leaves you hanging on for extra with each minimize that passes. “There Goes The Neighbourhood” is the nearer on this launch, and it is a shining beacon for the band, highlighting all the pieces they’re all about, as now we have highly effective vocal tones, bouncy percussion, jangly guitar tones and that throbbing bass. Sure it might not be essentially the most ‘anthemic’ of the bunch, nevertheless it’s fingers down one in every of their prime 5 tracks they’ve ever written.
