Foreign Hands' latest album, Timeless River, is a captivating journey through intricate instrumentation and emotive lyricism. The band's unique blend of post-hardcore, post-rock, and emo creates a sound that is both familiar and fresh.
The album's opener, "The Way We Live," sets the tone with its explosive energy and raw vocals. From there, the album ebbs and flows, taking the listener on a sonic adventure. Tracks like "Stay Awake" and "Bittersweet" showcase the band's ability to seamlessly blend heavy instrumentals with introspective lyrics.
Foreign Hands also experiments with different sounds on Timeless River, such as the hauntingly beautiful "Afterthoughts," which features a stripped-down acoustic guitar and delicate vocals. The album's closer, "Calm Before the Storm," is a fitting end to the journey, with its slow-building intensity and powerful climax.
