Southern California band Movements have recently announced their new album, RUCKUS!, produced by Will Yip, and out Friday August 18 via Fearless Records. We're super keen to hear the band's new album, considering their 2020 offering No Good Left To Give scored them a 10/10 in our books (our review here).
'Tightrope' is the band's third single and it's a beautifully melodic song that you could imagine singing along to in the car. Vocalist Patrick Miranda's plaintive and emotive vocals are ever present, and those riffs just hit the spot right in the feels. It's a refreshing change of pace that still sounds like the band fans have come to know and love but with a twist!
"Tightrope, in some ways, can be seen as the furthest departure we've taken from our sound thus far," says Miranda. "It lives in a sort of 'sonic in-between' of alternative rock, emo, and ballad pop yet there's still a familiarity that rings true to Movements' bread and butter. We pulled inspiration from all over the place on this one —Justin Bieber-esque pop melodies, Snow Patrol ballad-y instrumentals, and even some drum 'n' bass style breakbeats. It's a weird mashup of shit that ended up turning into something really beautiful. At the end of the day, we're a band whose most popular song is a soft sing-a-long. We're hoping 'Tightrope' might finally be the song to take its place at the top."
