The Story Changes
To Hell With this Delicate Equation
Magnaphone Records - 4/26/19
Ohios best kept secret.
Featuring members of Hawthorne Heights (Mark McMillon and
Christopher Popadak) and The Stereo (Chris Serafini), Dayton, Ohio
natives The Story Changes newest album To Hell With this Delicate
Equation is an energetic blend of late 90s/early 2000s emo, modern
rock, and a moody aggressiveness that supplies a gritty edge in all the
right places. The album arrived on 4/26 via Magnaphone Records on
Vinyl, CD, and digital outlets/streaming services.
Embracing their DIY upbringing, the band spent their blocks of time
home in between tours throughout 2018 building a new studio in
McMillon's (vocals/guitar) home and recording the album there free
from distractions and any sort of deadline. The singer explains, For
me, it was really important to take our time on this record and work on
it over the last year when we had pockets of time that didnt feel
rushed. Building the studio here and recording it at home was both
scary and exhilarating. Once we got past the initial fear of doing it
ourself, it was completely freeing and an absolute rush.
With that freedom came the extra time to dive in and experiment more
than ever. McMillon notes: I really wanted to try some different
approaches with my voice on these songs and had a lot of fun layering
my normal singing voice with additional whispers, screaming, and
everything in between. The whisper effect, as it has become
dubbed by band, adds a sort of haunting effect that becomes a theme
throughout the album and ties many of the songs together. The
addition of screaming in select moments also helps to drive the album
even further. The end result is twelve songs of honest, energetic,
moody and aggressive rock that make To Hell With this Delicate
Equation sound equally at home in both 2019 and 1999.
Standout tracks like Shooting Stars, Crying Wolf, Golden Age,
and Shake incorporate The Story Changes sound from their fan
favorite 2013 LP Static and Trembling , but with a slightly more
aggressive tone and added confidence.
To Hell With this Delicate Equation was mixed by longtime friend
Jamie Woolford (Gin Blossoms, The Smoking Popes, Punchline).
