Spring King – A Better Life
A Better Life is total fire from the get-go, offering great melody and pop lifts that you'll be singing for days
The makings of a sophomore album can be daunting – both challenging and frustrating; especially when receiving such critical acclaim from a debut. All this aside, Spring King have surpassed all expectations with A Better Life as it peels back your eyelids and sharpens your spine into an upright position, providing dirt-induced riffs and relevant hooks. Each track resonates with a formidable attitude allowing A Better Life to develop into a flawless and charismatic monster.
Previously released singles Us vs Them and Animal gave great hope for the rest of the album; all 14 tracks (including intro and interlude) prove to be darting skelfs of slick vibes and immediate prominence. The lashing basslines, tormented guitars and pulsating drums on Animal create a demonic tension. The menacing vocals power-wash the scabs off your mind, catapulting you into an unforgettable journey of angst and adrenaline.
Interweaving vocal harmonies are appropriately placed throughout Have You Ever Looked Up Into the Sky and Paranoid (in fact, every track on the album) creating an irreplaceable dynamic. A Better Life is total fire from the get-go, offering great melody and pop lifts that you’ll be singing for days. Buck-wild and vicious songwriting, not for the light-hearted.
