Il commento di
Jon Courtney:
“Abbiamo trascorso un po’ di tempo nelle campagne nei pressi di Brandeburgo, in una piccola capanna primitiva. Era un posto sicuro con tutto quello che stava succedendo intorno. Un giorno mia figlia si è imbattuta in una farfalla ferita, durante i suoi ultimi istanti di vita. Lei era addolorata nel vederla morire e noi non abbiamo potuto fare nulla. La traccia ne è la conseguenza. Questa cosa di assoluta bellezza, è scomparsa. Poi ci siamo imbattuti in un bruco.
Scoperta, creazione e vita, respirano, assieme.
Questa è probabilmente una delle nostre tracce più pesanti. Bring Me The Horizon che incontrano gli Smashing Pumpkins e i Fleetwood Mac!”

On ‘Above Cirrus’, the band continues many of the musical through lines that fans have come to expect; maintaining a balance between somber reflection and intrepid exploration, leading listeners through a shapeshifting collection of seven tracks that evoke a range of emotions. On the songs ‘Our Prism’ and ‘New Kind of Evil’, the energy reaches magnificent heights of guitar-led catharsis, rivaling the best efforts of acts like Tool and Filter, while offerings in ‘Lucid’ and ‘Dead Butterfly’ meld the group’s keyboard-centric song-structures with vast, epic soundscapes. But, unlike its predecessor, ‘Above Cirrus’ is far from a narrative driven concept record. As Jon confides, each song, while fueled by his personal journeys and the condition of modern times, is truly its own device. Reflecting on the lyricism of the record, he adds:
“Often my writing occupies itself with relationships; how we can be so tender/loving with each other in one instance, days later or even in a few flashes we’re tearing each other apart. The sublime & the savage/vicious. The music reflects this light & shade dynamic shift too. Our world shrinks through lockdowns/restrictions & strain is intensified. However, the end message is one of optimism – affirmation we’ll get to the end of this surreal chapter & be stronger together. Through the turbulence, we’ll help each other through the darkness.”
