Album Review: Speakyourheart - This Is How We Communicate

Speakyourheart provide a different take on the post-hardcore genre on 'This Is How We Communicate', as the band swap loud, crunching guitars for more melodic, acoustic ones. From the start, you quickly realise this idea, gives the band more space for their vocals and lyrics to breathe.

In addition to this tracks like 'This Is The Call' and 'If I Quit Breathing', show the bands ambition to add a complex element to their music. The former on first listen sounds like your standard upbeat, pop-punk number but subtly hidden is complicated guitar parts. 'Understand This Is A Dream (Part 2)' builds on this, as its an instrumental and although complex, it does not alienate the listener and with its acoustic basis, it is relatively easy going.
