SPIRITBOX – TSUNAMI SEA – ALBUM REVIEW

The rise and rise of Spiritbox since their introduction in 2017 is a fine example of what can happen when you bet on yourself. Formed by Courtney LaPlante and Mike Stringer when the couple decided to leave their established band for something they could call their own, they haven’t looked back since.

A handful of EP’s led to the arrival of their 2021 debut album ‘Eternal Blue’ which was met with great acclaim and cemented their status as not just future but present stars of the heavy music world. Now, they are looking to capitalize further on the hype that continues to surround them with the release of their sophomore full length release – ‘Tsunami Sea’.

Forging their path in a genre which can often feel eerily similar, Spiritbox have done well to develop their own identifiable sound, and this album sees them continue to embellish that sonic gravitas. No need to worry about them being confused for Poppy or anyone else here!

Whilst pre-release singles ‘Soft Spine’ and ‘Perfect Soul’ do shine bright, this is a record that is greater than the sum of its parts. Those prog influences still structuring the aesthetic of this dynamic group.

The plaudits from ‘Eternal Blue’ will undoubtedly continue to flow again with its successor as the Spiritbox identity is fully manifested on an album which feels like a celebration or culmination of their early years.

That’s not to say that the band have hit their peak, but you do sense we are now moving into a new era for a group now solidly placed in the upper echelons of their scene.

Indeed, sometimes you do just need to take a leap of faith and bet on yourself!
