Wares Return with Graceless Video

Leave a comment

I remember walking around my neighborhood with Wares‘ Survival on repeat; it was such an incredible listen, abrasive and gorgeous all at once, so it was a nice surprise to hear a new single slide into my inbox. Like that early album, the band carefully dance around bold drama via Cassia Hardy’s vocals, though there’s always this hint at danger lurking in the background…and it hits here just after the 2 minute mark. While that moment packs a big punch, it maybe still seems tinted with hope, tucking the pop sentimentality just beneath the surface. Hopefully this single means the band are back working on more new jams!

Wares Share Living Proof

Leave a comment

When you get your copy of Wares new LP, the first three tracks fit seamlessly together, reaching its apex with “Living Proof.” This song almost feels like a state of dreamy consciousness, which fits with the writing experience of Cassia Hardy, who describes the tune as a moment of euphoria after having gender affirming surgery; its one of those rare moments when you can almost trade places with the narrator…perhaps a great thing considering the difficulties the trans community faces. Still, there’s a feeling of hope, a feeling of escaping into the world on your own terms and never looking back. This is just one of the various brilliant moments that fills Survival; you’ll be sure to grab it from Mint Records before its release on April 24th.

Wares Announce Survival

Leave a comment

I think my favorite thing about this fresh Wares track is that I was actually unable to pigeonhole the song; it’s got sort of a collection of everything we’re all enjoying in the indie rock community. There’s hints in the opening seconds of emo allegiance, though as the song evolves, dreamier aspects open the tune up, occasionally leaving huge space for rocking breakdowns and Cassia Hardy’s voice. At times, she sings with urgency in her delivery, and at other moments she seems exasperated with the world. Perhaps that’s just a representation of an album titled Survival, with this song shining a light on the importance/joy of “consent and safe sex.” This new LP drops via Mint Records on April 24th.
