Hailing from the North-East, the enigmatic British gothic garage rock ensemble, Wax Heart Sodality, has bequeathed unto us Live, Laugh, Love — the second opus culled from their imminent EP (set to unfurl on the 1st of September). A melancholic introspection into the prescriptive and reductive tenets governing existence, the song lyrically dissects the act of whittling life’s intricacies into palatable maxims, which, over time, metamorphose into intangible fragments detached from their intended reflections. Think political dogma, social media mantras, and consumerist catechisms. Sonically, the track combusts in a post punk conflagration intertwined with the sinuous shades of darkwave, as if Echo & The Bunnymen convened a sonic séance with Chameleons.
This single was birthed within the sanctum of The Green Dragon Studios and alchemized by none other than Steven Bardgett, the maestro from Mouses and recent protégé of Bramwell Bronte (known for his collaborations with Sam Fender).
