Review
Lebanon Hanover's 'Let Them Be Alien' is a sonic journey through the shadows of human existence. Released in 2018, this fifth studio album from the duo is a dark, brooding exploration of isolation and the search for connection. The tracks 'Alien' and 'Gravity Sucks' set the tone, drawing listeners into a world where outsiders reign supreme.
The album's soundscape is a rich tapestry of post-punk and gothic rock elements. Haunting vocals intertwine with layers of synthesizers and guitar work, creating an atmosphere that's both captivating and unsettling. It's the kind of music that seeps into your bones and lingers long after the last note fades.
Lyrically, 'Let Them Be Alien' is a love letter to the misfits and romantics of the world. Songs like 'Kiss Me Until My Lips Fall Off' and 'Favorite Black Cat' showcase the duo's talent for blending introspection with a glimmer of hope. It's an album that doesn't just speak to the marginalized - it screams their truth from the rooftops. Lebanon Hanover has crafted a powerful statement that will resonate with anyone who's ever felt like they don't quite fit in. - Chase
