All Souls Post “Death Becomes Us” Video
Two reasons for posting this video, right out of the gate. One, it gives me an excuse to put on the second All Souls album, 2020’s Songs for the End of the World (review here). Two, it gives me an excuse to send the band a message and say in my not so subtle way, hey-where’s-the-next-one?, which, yes, I did this morning.
There’s progress on that front, as according to bassist/backing vocalist Meg Castellanos, the band — she, guitarist/vocalist Antonio Aguilar, drummer Tony Tornay and guitarist Matt Price (Behold! the Monolith), who’ll make his debut with them on their next outing — have finished writing their third full-length and next week will begin pre-production with Alain Johannes helming. The band played the new song “Who Holds the Answer” in June as part of their ‘Virtual Volumes’ live stream (review here) with Fatso Jetson, with whom they share Tornay, and though that was actually Price‘s first public performance with the group, one could hear the interplay of his and Aguilar‘s guitars on what was the set-opener and it was only encouraging as to where the All Souls dynamic might be headed, particularly with the complexity of the melody involved.
It’s easy to daydream and consider what Johannes might bring to All Souls as a producer in terms of a fullness of sound and highlighting their more melodic side, which of course showed up plenty on Songs for the End of the World as well, but for now it’s pretty much daydreams, and that’s fair. New album next year. Maybe they’ll be able to tour for it. Maybe I’ll get to see All Souls in 2022. That’d be good, and hey, weirder things have happened.
So a found-footage video is welcome by me, and maybe as they think about embarking on their next outing, this is their way of bidding farewell to Songs for the End of the World. Like so many killer albums issued over the last 18-months, it hasn’t gotten a fair shake in the way it normally would — i.e. with the band touring to support it — but all you can do is move forward in the most productive way possible, and clearly that’s what All Souls are doing. Can’t wait to hear more of their new stuff.
For now, enjoy:
