Deeper - Hardcoming

Review by Paula Cortese

Deeper's latest album, Hardcoming, is a stunning display of the Chicago-based band's post-punk sound. The album features 10 tracks that showcase the band's growth and evolution since their debut album, which was released in 2018.

From the opening track, "Esoteric," Deeper sets the tone for an album that is both dynamic and introspective. The band's signature driving basslines and tight drumming are on full display throughout the album, perfectly complementing the haunting vocals of lead singer Nic Gohl.

One of the standout tracks on the album is "This Heat," a song that perfectly encapsulates Deeper's ability to blend punk and post-punk elements with a pop sensibility. The chorus is infectious and will have listeners singing along in no time.

Another highlight is "4U," a track that showcases the band's ability to create a brooding, atmospheric sound. The song builds slowly, with layers of guitar and synths adding to the tension before erupting into a cathartic climax.

Summary by Paula Cortese

Hardcoming is a fantastic album that showcases Deeper's growth as a band. The songs are well-crafted, the production is top-notch, and the performances are passionate and intense. Fans of post-punk and indie rock will not want to miss this album.
