Empath - The Awakening

Review by Bruce Goett

The album The Awakening by Empath has received critical acclaim since its release. The band's unique sound blends elements of punk, shoegaze, and experimental rock to create a captivating listening experience. The album's opening track, "Soft Shape," sets the tone for the rest of the album with its dreamy vocals and distorted guitar riffs. The band's use of unconventional instruments, such as the saxophone and flute, adds an extra layer of depth to tracks like "Hanging Out of Cars" and "Roses That Cry." The lyrics on the album explore themes of self-discovery and personal growth, which are reflected in the title track "The Awakening." The Awakening is a bold and daring album that showcases Empath's talent and creativity.
