Bognanno's gruff yet dynamic voice is allowed to bloom, and it has a tenderness and openness to it here that's new. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThere are multiple layers of wistfulness and care to her delivery of lines like \"It just takes one disagreement for you to remember the one time I fucked up,\" from \"Spiral,\" turning songs that could be one-dimensional kiss-offs into warm and complex expressions of regret. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe group returned to Electrical Audio in Chicago, another home for Bognanno, to record \u003cstrong\u003eLosing\u003c\/strong\u003e. Their core-Bognanno, guitarist Clayton Parker and bassist Reece Lazarus-truly solidified during the process, a detail-oriented push for perfection in which each moving part was labored over and polished. Emily Lazar's mastering adds the perfect cap to Bognanno's engineering; this is a record that has both shimmer and heft. There's power in the guitar attack, delicacy and toughness in the melodic hooks, precision in the drums, and backbone in the bass. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhile Bognanno wouldn't call this a political record, she doesn't deny that the current political atmosphere and its urgency and tension haven't shaped some of her ideas on this record, too-though she does not want that to be its focus. Mostly, this is an internal record, a universalized diary and an exorcism-not of any one specific demon, but of the host of them that characterize contemporary anxieties. Bully are growing up, sure, but their fire is in no way diminishing. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ciframe title=\"YouTube video player\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/videoseries?si=Y8cI45QDEVXquQN5\u0026amp;list=OLAK5uy_niWvNEhDe4VPJf4j0yvTKCvg_mVQ-nDtg\" height=\"315\" width=\"560\" allowfullscreen=\"\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" frameborder=\"0\"\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Bully","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44820920369339,"sku":"","price":30.0,"currency_code":"SGD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0517\/0341\/4971\/files\/BULLY-LOSING-LOSERTURQOUISE-01.jpg?v=1699320901","url":"https:\/\/bizarromarket.mom\/products\/bully-losing-loser-edition-turquoise","provider":"Bizarro Market","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
