Ithomiid’s album “Shapes That Haven’t Been Made, Colors That
Have Yet To Be Discovered” brings me back to 2005, the golden age of emo, when
bands like Chiodos, Thursday, and Circa Survive were shining brighter than the
sun. Listening to this album makes me
feel like I’m back in high school and the only thing I needed to worry about is
scoring tickets for that year’s Warped Tour, which I would absolutely want to
see Ithomiid play one day. “Shapes That
Haven’t Been Made, Colors That Have Yet To Be Discovered” has such a diverse track
list; “Attachment Issues” begins the album with the classic emo sound that’ll
bring even the biggest hipster back to their scene days, then “The Deceit of
Defeat” shows off a groovy bass line, and the guitars on “Hiding Places” bring
this superb album to an eerie end, not to mention Kevin Peixoto’s exceptional drumming
featured throughout each song. There is
one particular track however that is my absolute favorite from this album, “Character
Development” is a song about trusting someone, then later on discovering that
they are individual you despise, I love the theme, the lyrics, and I’m also a
little biased because I can be found in the lyric video for this song. Ithomiid is a remarkable band, it’s no wonder
they have opened for such greats as The Misfits, Trapt, and The Color
Morale. So if you’re looking for new
music that has that classic emo sound, then look no further than “Shapes That
Haven’t Been Made, Colors That Have Yet To Be Discovered” it’s an instant
classic.
