Kwyjibo’s new single, “Dark Again” is a raw and powerful blend of emo and shoegaze that hits deep, both sonically and emotionally. The energy is incredible from the very start with driving guitars, crisp drums and a full-bodied bass all come together under a sharp and polished production. The chorus is strong and heartfelt with lyrics that carry real weight, reflecting the helplessness of trying to support someone who’s mentally struggling.
Charlie Lord’s voice is rich with emotion and character which adds another layer of authenticity to the track. You can feel that this song was created during a personal and isolated time, but the final result feels far from small, it’s emotionally wide open and sonically bold. I really love the unique atmosphere Kwyjibo creates here. The passion behind the project is obvious and the production by Noah Althoff makes everything shine. I’ll definitely be keeping an eye on what comes next.
