Lodge Mira dropped their banger-filled album, “Pity Celebration”, and it is secure to say that I’ll have already ruined the evaluate for you.
We have beforehand had their music adorning our website earlier than – and for good causes, as we are able to simply see them doing huge issues sooner or later – and quick ahead to now, with a full album earlier than our eyes, I could not wait as soon as I first knew of it.
“Pity Celebration” is a hook-loaded indie rock rollercoaster that proves Lodge Mira are right here to get together—and progress.
The album’s centerpiece is their greatest tune of the final couple of years, so if you wish to get caught into the juicy heart of all of it, make sure to skip to “Making Progress”.
Two of the early contenders within the album is the opening minimize “America’s Favorite Pasttime”, which is a riff-filled tune that’s positive to seize the ears of anybody who dares to hear in, it is infectious and is actually is full of hooks galore. The opposite belter that we fell in love with on the primary hear was “Melissa”. Now I’ve acquired an issue with this. First off, it has no proper to be so bouncy and vibrant in 2025 – as this feels prefer it’s been lifted proper from the 2010s, very particularly, Two Door Cinema Membership’s second album. Vocally, it’s excellent for a stable sing-along and is but once more Lodge Mira showcasing their unbelievable expertise with some addictive sounds.
As talked about earlier, the core of the album is the largest minimize, and the following half of the album does not fail to ship, both. We go from tracks like “Runner”, which is extra of a laid-back monitor, oddly sufficient (regardless of it is identify) to some Bloc Celebration-infused sounds in “Stone’s Throw” and the scorching “Again to the Bed room”.
Honbestly, the again finish of the album is stuffed to the brim with goodness, and it leaves you hanging on for extra with each minimize that passes. “There Goes The Neighbourhood” is the nearer on this launch, and it is a shining beacon for the band, highlighting every thing they’re all about, as we now have highly effective vocal tones, bouncy percussion, jangly guitar tones and that throbbing bass. Sure it is probably not probably the most ‘anthemic’ of the bunch, but it surely’s arms down one in every of their high 5 tracks they’ve ever written.
