The brand new self-titled EP from Call Me Amour is on the verge of release, and it's a bold and exciting new EP that merges dark electronica with soaring, distorted guitar riffs, each delivering that truly infectious feeling of being right in the middle of a live show. Regardless of where or when you're listening, each track seems to pulse with a raw intensity that'll have you ready to bounce, signalling a fresh yet uncompromising injection of energy.
From the opening moments of the EP's first track 'Happy Hell', it’s clear that Call Me Amour isn’t here to play it safe. The track’s haunting synthscapes and industrial undertones set the pace of what's to come, before crashing into a wall of atmospheric guitars and aggressive, impassioned, hard-hitting vocals. It’s an immediate, visceral introduction to the band’s sonic world that's laced with a dark and brooding energy, and breakdowns that just make you want to move.
Moving swiftly onto the third track, 'Bloom' showcases a more anthemic side, with pulsating beats, glitchy electronics, and a soaring chorus that demands to be screamed back from the pit. The fusion of electronica, rock, and modern metal feels seamless, striking a perfect balance between emotional vulnerability and sheer sonic force.
The EP’s standout moment, however, is 'Good Day', a track that really leans into the moody, immersive tones, building toward an explosive breakdown of crunching guitars and pulsing synths, before finally 'Where's The Chemistry?' and 'Dreams' take a more introspective turn, blending melancholic lyricism with a creeping, tension-filled instrumental that finally erupts into a cathartic and satisfying ending point to leave you wanting more.
Lyrically, the band explores a range of themes and emotions, drawing particularly on feelings of resilience, inspiration, and being inspired by moments in life, with frontman HR delivering lines drenched in both angst and conviction. For those longing for a new addition to their playlists, Call Me Amour has you covered. With this EP, they're further carving out a distinct identity and proving that their fusion of industrial textures, dark electronic grit, and hard-hitting riffs is a force to be reckoned with - we look forward to seeing what else they have in store in the future.
'Call Me Amour' will release on February 7th 2025 via Circular Wave.
