We Speak
was such a raw and wonderful EP. It was the beginning of perfection and the proof that a band's potential can shine through rough edges. One of the most fabulous things about this band is that even through their evolution of a cleaner, clearer sound, they never lost their ability to preform as an absolute rock band. And the raw and rough beginnings always show themselves in every I the Mighty show I've been to.
Karma Never Sleeps
Was a step in a different, and more focused direction. It seems a lot more polished and organized than "We Speak" was. They also did an acoustic version of this already perfect album, which was more intimate (as acoustic versions of songs tend to be).
Satori
is heartbreak in it's varying and real forms. Brent has spoken on several occasions about how the writing in this album was a product of a break-up. But romantic heartbreak was not the only topic on this album. There was political heartbreak, friendship heartbreak, familial heartbreak, societal heartbreak. If you're a rock fan with a broken heart, this is the album for you.
Connector
was a bright new page for this band. It brought with it their first headlining tour, and the proof that they were deserving of that. They can hold their own. Not only on tour, but in the rock music scene. Another thing Connector brought with it were new elements of the band, such as offering artwork up to the fans for each track of the album. And even though the artwork was not created by a band member, I find it to be very representative of the music that inspired it, and of the band as a whole. Connector also brought with it a more other-worldly sound, with effects outside of their standard guitar, drum, bass formula.
Oil In Water
Yesterday, I the Mighty announced across their social media, across their social media that they would be releasing a new EP September 2nd called "Oil In Water." I'm excited to hear this, but I hope this doesn't mean that they've decided to skip the full length album I was anticipating after their fall tour.
Fall Tour
This band is setting off for their second headlining tour this fall. With them, they're bringing along another favorite of mine, Picturesque. (I also did a review of this band. To watch, click here. To read, click here.) Other openers include: Day Shell (which several fans seem to be very excited about, but I have not had the chance to listen to them yet), and Artifexpered. Along with a fabulous VIP package offered to fans at a reasonable price, I the Mighty is also promoting that they will be playing The Frame Trilogy on this tour, which is something that they haven't done in the past. The Frame Trilogy is a 3 part song story, which started in "Karma Never Sleeps" and the completion landed on "Connector."
