Stream: “Endurance” – Curling

You’re falling in love with somebody simply ’trigger you’re uninterested in innocence…

Heavy and heated, Curling’s second single of the yr is an intoxicating alt-rock fever dream.

Overdriven electrical guitars surge and dynamic drums churn out a heavy beat because the band tease out a narrative of self-discovery and give up, inviting us deep into the throes of their very own sonic (and emotional) turbulence. The tip result’s an intoxicating eruption from unseen depths: Intimately intense and totally unrelenting, “Endurance” roars with uncooked ardour and charged power as Curling unravel in a radiant, visceral reckoning.

It’s not a love tune. Not but.
Don’t be outlined by these chains
whenever you understand disgrace:
That you simply’re enamored with ache.
Simply take a while to appreciate

That you could possibly be completely happy.
That you could possibly be something.

Independently launched July 18, 2023, “Endurance” is a cathartic outpouring of searing sound and feeling. Arriving simply two weeks after Curling’s fantastically raucous tune “Hello-Elixir” introduced their long-awaited return, the second single off the multi-continental band’s forthcoming third album No Guitar is completely unapologetic.

Reminiscent, to some extent, of The Smashing Pumpkins, Foo Fighters, and Stone Temple Pilots, Curling – helmed by Bay Space-based Bernie Gelman and Tokyo, Japan-based Jojo Brandel, alongside model new member Kynwyn Sterling on drums – worker a cinematic suite of rock n’ roll instruments to craft a soundscape that’s without delay immersive, uncompromising, and invigorating.

No Guitar, due out on August 11, has been described by Curling’s band members as a cross-genre endeavor protecting the whole lot “from power-pop’s punchy bittersweetness and rustling indie-folk to the openhearted intricacy of Midwestern emo.” Provided that, we are able to solely assume that “Endurance” is their pit-stop in alt-rock’s weightier territory.

Washing away your lipstick and blush,
that drugstore mascara.
You’re falling in love with somebody
simply ’trigger you’re uninterested in innocence.
All of your days: lonesome, easy.
It was all the time going to be like
you wished it to by some means.

In keeping with Bernie Gelman, the tune loved an amazing transformation between its unique idea and the final word finish end result.

“‘Endurance’ was initially a slower, acoustic-driven tune that Jojo had been engaged on,” the singer/songwriter, multi-instrumentalist, and producer tells Atwood Journal. “After I heard it for the primary time, the depth of the BDSM-themed lyrics juxtaposed with the gorgeous melody jumped out to me and I knew it was going to be an awesome tune. There was a narrative I learn a very long time in the past concerning the Speaking Heads tune ‘The Overload’ on Stay In Gentle. Apparently, Brian Eno got here into the studio raving about this band known as Pleasure Division that he had simply heard and David Byrne requested what they seemed like. Byrne stated ‘We must always make a tune like that,’ primarily based on Eno’s description. I really feel like ‘Endurance’ may be very a lot in that vein: We mainly stated, ‘What if Curling made an enormous, darkish, anthemic rock tune?’ and simply ran with it.”

It seems Curling excel at darkish, anthemic rock songs.

“To create the sort of environment we had been searching for, we experimented with some bass guitar run by a Chase Bliss Blooper and it turned it right into a darkish, synth-y texture through the first part of the tune,” Gelman explains. “There’s additionally tons of little fuzzy warbles and interjections that we added to offer the tune a menacing, relentless vibe. This was one of many first songs we’ve ever recorded the place the drums had been tracked first and all the guitars had been added lots later. I’m fairly positive our engineer Ian was actually stoked about that as a result of we had a ton of management over the sound of the drums throughout mixing and the power of Kynwyn’s efficiency actually shines by.”

So as to add to the tune’s weighty punch, “Endurance” additionally comes with a John MacKay-directed music video by which the protagonist is chased by the streets and alleyways of New York Metropolis “by a Terminator-like dominatrix” – a visible that actually matches the fever dream description, and provides much more chunk to an already fiery expertise.

Don’t be outlined by these chains
whenever you understand ache
(you could possibly be completely happy,
you could possibly be something)
That you simply’re enamored
with disgrace.

Their tune could also be named “Endurance,” however fortunately we listeners don’t should have any of its namesake. With No Guitar out in solely one other week’s time, Curling will probably be in our ears full-time, very quickly. Billed as a “jubilant celebration of loss of life, beginning, unemployment, intercourse and love, anxiousness and despair, loneliness, and canine companionship,” their third album delivers for indie and alt-rock lovers all over the place a fascinating, spirited, guitar-forward soundtrack to the latter half of this scorching and sweaty summer season.

For now, get in on the bottom degree with the seductive give up, “Endurance.”
