The drums that open ‘Grave Concern’ roll through your chest before they are joined by the vibrations of the guitars. It is a slow build that gradually leads you into the vocals. There is a vulnerability to the vocals that hits from the first word. This is perfectly complemented by the lyrics that dive into loss and the battles that most of us keep to ourselves.
There is a wonderful interplay between the vocals and melody. As one tapers off, the other picks up the threads of the song, filling you with reflective emotions. Through all of this, there is something woven into each beat and note that urges you to look beneath the surface of the track. There is a depth to the song that is like looking into a reflecting lake. At first you are confronted with the surface and the reflections of the world, but the longer you linger, the deeper you can see. The hidden depths beneath the surface start to come forward, and you are held in awe of the majesty that is held within.
What lies beneath this track is a soul-deep emotion that resonates through your entire being. You can feel the personal touches in the extremely emotive vocal performance, which is taken to new heights by the melody. The lyrics linger in the recesses of your brain long after the song ends while inviting you to look deeper within yourself.
Drums for Clowns have taken emotive rock music to a new level with ‘Grave Concern’. Their uncompromising musical ethic meets the reflective depths of the track beautifully to create something that invites you to look deeper into the music and yourself. The darker parts of life that we often try to ignore are given a voice tempered with delightful vulnerability.
