Here, Hear: La Dispute

La Dispute is a very passionate and attention seeking band. They play a post-hardcore and emotional choice of music with a unique way of belting out their lyrics that they are trying to sell you. And boy am I sold. This though, this is La Dispute's Ep series Here, Hear (all recorded by the drummer, Braid). It's much more of a look at their influences on mythological stories and literature. The first Here, Hear is mostly all spoken word and kicks off with an exert from Tim Robbin's Still Life With Woodpecker and moves on to other stories that I'm not too familiar with. The second installment is a lot like the first; continuing with the spoken word but adds a little more instrumentation. The third Here, Here is my favorite and is even a little bluesy. All four tracks on Here, Hear III are styled a bit differently. It still incorporates the spoken word aspect that runs through the whole series while introduces a much fuller and atmosphere bed room or DIY recording sound that I really enjoy. I could talk more about the La Dispute sound and Jordan's intoxicating vocal delivery but Here, Hear is different. And it's right here, here:

Guess I still don't see the difference between real purpose and that urgent adolescents
