We love it when revisiting an artist with new material on the horizon causes a feeling that’s the sonic equivalent of reuniting with an old friend after an extended period without missing a beat. And that’s definitely the feels we felt when checking back in on Luxury Deathtrap ahead of the release of their latest single “By A Thread”.
If you haven’t been keeping track of the haunting Alt Rawk that the Boston-based outfit has been laying down then first off, why? Secondly, you’ve been missing out. But “By A Thread” is here to remind you that it’s not too late to get on board the LD express! Boston’s answer to Sunny Day Real Estate and Failure, Luxury Deathtrap concoct a unique blend of emotive Alternative that’s tantamount to a certain time period (Oh hai, ’90’s!) to an extent but also timeless.
“By A Thread” fits all that to a T with a modern bout of melodiousness that greatly supports the proof that Nick McGowan’s songwriting chops have only gotten better and better since LD arrived on the scene. Add in McGowan’s tender voice and guitar playing paired with the rhythm section subtleties from Vitaly Borodkin (Bass) and Hugo Ribierto (Drums) and the latest from Luxury Deathtrap serves as the perfect testament to the band’s staying power within this constantly vibrant aural arena.
“By A Thread” is out now and you can find your copy waiting when you head here or here. For more from Luxury Deathtrap, hit the socials across the interwebs by clicking here or here.
