Review
Alright, buckle up, because Microwave's "Much Love" is about to hit you right in the feels. This 2016 release from the Atlanta-based band dives headfirst into the murky waters of love, relationships, and all the glorious disillusionment that comes with them. The band's lyrics are raw and often uncomfortably honest, but that's exactly what makes them resonate so deeply.
Musically, the album dances between indie rock and emo, creating a moody atmosphere perfect for those rainy day contemplations. Songs like "Roaches" and "Neighbors" are absolute earworms, with catchy hooks that'll stick with you for days. Then you've got tracks like "Vomit" and "Whimper" that lean into the experimental side, introspective and haunting. Each song is tinged with a kind of cynical edge that questions the very notion of love, making you nod your head in agreement one minute and ponder your own life the next.
Microwave doesn't just sing about relationships—they dissect them, turning every lyric into a relatable gut punch. "Much Love" isn't just an album you listen to; it's one you feel deeply. Perfect for fans of indie rock and emo, this album will leave a mark on your soul and keep you coming back for more. - Madi
