Introducing: Old Notes
Old Notes has big plans on the horizon and a new record to fuel the ride. In their August 2016 debut, Former Self, the band has seamlessly blended elements of emo and ambient rock, with twinges of pop-punk instrumentals to create a powerful breakthrough record.
After entering the studio immediately following their April 2016 inception, Old Notes has created a record that is lyrically raw and honest, complemented sonically with wailing guitars and urgent percussions. Former Self takes the listener on a journey of self-discovery through reflections of the past and hopes for the future. Wrought with the anger and regret of pain both caused and endured, the record still maintains a sense of brightness. Former Self serves as a reminder that, although sorrow and change are ever-so-pervasive throughout one’s life, there is peace in the realization that these experiences shape us. Highly relatable and emotional lyrics, coupled with the wailing, trance-like instrumentals, provoke self-reflection and impart a lasting sense of hope for what’s to come. Old Notes has entered the ranks of the best new bands of 2016, and show no signs of slowing down.
