SUDDEN DEATH OF STARS – Released March 13, 2020
Sudden Death Of Stars is Lyric’s 6th official album/EP release featuring 3 new tunes. It is a culmination of the last 13 years of Lyric’s music and draws techniques and inspirations from 5 different albums to shape the “ambient alt-rock” that is Sudden Death Of Stars (SDOS).
SDOS features haunting piano intros that shifts into a classic “post-rock bliss” verse with a big chorus keeping the bass lines tight and the guitar pulsing to get your feet tapping.
Sail With Me is for the musicians in the audience. Featuring strong harmonizing guitar riffs throughout the tune it sets itself aside from other radio tunes with various time changes between 5/4 and 6/8 throughout the song; however, careful to not lose the contemporary appeal. Still true to the “ambient alt-rock” of the EP, it’s a perfect middle ground between the easy listener and the musician looking to dive a little deeper into the technical aspect.
Lost and Found is the guitar driven “radio” song of the EP. At under 3 mins long, it wastes no time kicking things into drive with a catchy guitar riff to send off the tune followed shortly by a present verse and chorus. Musically, it suits the “easy listening” vibe of the album and later introduces a build reminiscent to that of SDOS keeping the energy high!
