The Grasping Straws Releases New Reflective Album ‘Shapes’

The genre of psychedelic art rock has always been a space for the weird and wild. It is a genre that opens to every human emotion and feeling. There are not many artists who could do the music style justice, but The Grasping Straws are proving with every release how they are different. The band’s newest album ‘Shapes’ takes the genre to a whole new level with tons of experimentation and expression. The album pushes the band’s signature mix of jazz and psychedelic abstraction with grunge into a deeper territory. The record is both loud and soft, and raw yet poetic.

Led by Mallory Feuer, the band has always been about more than music. It presents a connection and community to the fans. Expanding reach with every new release, this album is their most experimental ever. The album delves into questions of meaning and emotion as well as technology, while keeping its feet grounded in its roots. The listeners get songs like ‘Robots’ that shine a light on tech’s quiet takeover of human society. On the other hand, tracks like ‘Fingers’ and ‘Water It’ pull everything back to the earth, giving listeners an experience of a complete journey.

‘Shapes’ is also a lyrically beautiful record where there are lyrical nods to code and software, reflecting the leading member’s own foray into software engineering. However, at its core, the album is about how to be a human being. It is about how people build, break, reach out, and feel throughout. The Grasping Straws has truly done an amazing job crafting this record, containing 8 tracks that all represent the emotions of the members. The album is produced by Gordon Raphael and mastered by Dom Richmond, which captures the band’s sound in a raw and polished form. The album is now streaming on Spotify, where you can listen to the entire record containing songs like ‘Comforts’, ‘Bystander’, ‘Ruining’, etc. Follow the band on Facebook, Instagram, and X for more updates.
