Elder Brother's album Wish You Were Here is a stunning and emotional journey through the highs and lows of life. The band's blend of indie rock and post-hardcore creates a unique sound that is both powerful and introspective.
The album's opening track, "Greatest Hit," sets the tone for the rest of the record with its driving drums and soaring guitar riffs. The song's lyrics explore the idea of success and how it can be both a blessing and a curse.
Throughout the album, Elder Brother delves into themes of loss, heartbreak, and the struggle to find purpose in life. Tracks like "I Don't Miss You" and "Wish You Were Here" are particularly poignant, with their raw and honest lyrics cutting straight to the heart.
Despite the heavy subject matter, there is a sense of hope and resilience that runs throughout the album. Tracks like "Halloween" and "Unnatural History" are more upbeat and offer a glimmer of light in the darkness.
