Touché Amoré: Lament [Epitaph]
The title notwithstanding, Touché Amoré’s fifth album Lament finds the post-hardcore band in a hopeful headspace. On their last album, Stage Four, Touché Amoré grappled with grief, and the death of vocalist Jeremy Bolm’s mother. On the new LP, recorded with producer Ross Robinson, the band explores the aftermath of that sorrow with empathy.
