The Exies - Modern Way of Living with the Truth

The band describes the new album's sound as a yin-yang synthesis of beauty and destruction. Produced by James Michel's, this record runs the gamut of sound and emotion, from the wistful opening "Leaving Song" to the harsh anti-materialist rant of "Lay Your Money Down" to the simple piano chords of the regretful "Stray" and the wistful ballad "My Ordinary World" to the propulsive melodic hardcore of "These Are the Days" to the techno questioning of the title track. The album reflects the band's inner torment, a way of dealing with the uncertainty of the modern world. Songs like the album's first single "Different Than You" and "Fear of Being Alone" explore the conundrums of coming into this world alone and leaving alone, and what you gather along the way.
