Touché Amoré On Why 'Lament' Couldn't Be All About Love, but is the Perfect Entry Point to the Band

#ToucheAmore #Lament #Reminders

Touché Amoré aren’t a band known for delicacy. Despite the frequent counterpoint coupling of frontman Jeremy Bolm’s thumbtack-gargling vocals with lavish, delay-heavy guitar atmosphere, they’re a band on the attack. They cut their teeth on songs with ferocious bite and lyrics of sharp self-introspection that typically lean into pessimism. When Bolm initially began work on their latest album, 'Lament,' he set out to write a “love record” devoted to his fiancé. However, he soon realized that their approach to making music doesn’t lend itself particularly well to professing undying affection. Simply stated—throat-screaming “I love you” doesn’t always come off as the most endearing.

Regardless, 'Lament' features their poppiest song to date, an abundance of country-inspired pedal steel and actual bona fide lyrics of affection. But don’t you worry—the album is just as urgent and abrasive as anything in the TA catalog. And Bolm considers it to be a great gateway into the band.

“I think it's going to be one of those records that you don't have to feel like you had to have been initiated in 2010. I think it's a perfect entry point for us. I think that's a really cool part in any band's career,” Bolm says. “If you're new to the band, this is a fantastic entry point. And if you're already familiar, I think you're going to have a good time.”

Upon the album’s release, Bolm caught up with Alternative Press to revisit the intensely confessional nature of his entire discography. Bolm also explained the Lament track that is a direct sequel to Stage Four and how the pedal steel became prominent on the record.
