about

SPOTIFY PRE-SAVE:https://ffm.to/swsp

Petrichor is a term to describe the fresh smell after a rainfall, which the band thought was not only a “cool word” but an apt description of what the album is about and how it was made. A sense of renewal.

Recorded at Gun Factory Studios by Humphreys, Petrichor is a luscious 12 tracks that feel wholly different from their previous EPs as the band looked to take listeners on a journey with each song. Unintentionally influenced by what the band have been through over the last few years, there are moments where a semblance of hope and a realisation of a shared humanity that emerges.

Struggling to get and to do better becomes the accidental theme throughout the album. With a modicum of humour the band are known for, of course.

Lead single “Jung Dreams”, now streaming on MUZAI Records’ Soundcloud page, is a perfect example of the band’s new work; a brutal, aggressive, cathartic release at the very start of Petrichor, the band describe it as “weird” but with a big, anthemic melody.

The anthemic element is concurrent throughout the album – from the danceable, catchy chorus of “Ticky” to their stab at being a “massive stadium rock band” with “Hand Of God,” Petrichor has a pent up aggressiveness amongst its smirking moments that is freed as each track unfurls throughout the album.

That sensation of something fresh after a cleansing rainfall? It’s exactly what Struggles With Syntax have made with Petrichor.
