BIO

"In the Absence Of is a powder keg, exploding with pensive dynamics. “Shell that Echoes Only” is a true ride, featuring a winding little progression that eventually gives way to impassioned screams just as you begin to wonder if it’s an instrumental project. Something about the rawness of everything took me back to the broken heart that lives at the core of so many bands, whether or not they sound like Senza or As Living Arrows. You might not call it pleasurable, but you can’t help but call it real, and sometimes that’s more important – especially in genres like hardcore and emo.

“That Part of Wonder That Is Mine” is another standout, discordant yet uplifting instrumental and heavy post-breakdown vocals. You can find this chemistry all over the record, but overall, it’s closer “Mono No Aware” that stuck with us the most. Wagstaff’s spoken word passages are varied throughout the record, but seem most effectively, even effortlessly delivered here. If you’re looking for something raw, powerful, and heartbreaking, give In the Absence Of a try. It’s a real throwback to early 2000’s screamo, and you don’t have to lie to us: we know you’re always looking for those." - Fecking Bahamas
