It's been a while since we've heard new original songs from This Wild Life, and I'm happy to say that the wait is now over. The band's newest album "Low Tides," was released by Epitaph Records on September 9, and it is exactly the punch in the stomach with emotion you've come to expect. The album is a near perfect follow up to "Clouded," which was released two years ago.

Check out my track-by-track review!

1. Hit The Reset - "I'm in the thick of it, does it hurt a little bit, to watch me go?"

This track is soft and subtle with the emotional punch that has become synonymous with This Wild Life. Kevin Jordan's vocals capture your attention from the muttering of the first line and combined with Anthony Del Grosso's vocal complement, the haunting melodies are sure to be stuck in your head. You'll be yearning for the one who got away ... even if you don't have one.

2. Pull Me Out - "Your love is like a riptide, you pull me out into the cold."

First and foremost... let's talk about these great harmonies. This was the first single off of "Low Tides," and was - in my opinion - the perfect song to introduce this album to the fans. Moving into a more instrumentally geared song, Jordan's vocals are still strong and apparent. This song is putting off big Elder Brother vibes and I'm not mad about it at all.

3. Break Down - "Forget directions or bad intentions. I'm lost without your headlights"

Get ready to cry. One thing that you'll see me mention a lot in this review is Jordan's powerful ability to move someone. You feel everything he's talking about and anyone who has ever had a fall out ... relationship, friendship, family... you know exactly what he's talking about. You're just as hurt as he is. This is a great example of that.

4. Let Go (ft. Maya Tuttle) - "I'm seeing you in color for the first time. I've never felt better leaving you behind."

It keeps going. At first, you can barely hear the guitar but don't turn your volume up. Because those gang vocals will blow out your speakers. (Gang vocals! YES!) As sad as the verses are, the chorus brings a certain light to the song. It's incredible difficult to have such a switch in mood between verses and chorus and TWL do so flawlessly... another reason they are some of the most underrated musicians/songwriters of our generation and especially in this scene.

5. Just Yesterday - "Should I say I'm happy for you, for you?"

One word: Haunting. When having it so close to a song like "Let Go," it's a bit harder to get back into a "sullen" mood... calmer. But it helps you come down from that hype of that last song and in the intermediate before "Fade."

6. Fade - "But don't mistake physical affection for emotional connection."

Slide guitars mixed with Jordan's technical singing ability sets this song apart from others on the album. It serves as a good bridge between "Clouded" and the new direction they have set out in. This is what I like to call a "perfect indie movie moment," song. Girl is going back home after a fight with her boyfriend/girlfriend. She's in a Lyft. It's raining and she puts her headphones in to drown out the driver's incessant mindless chattering. "And I fade...."

7. Falling Down - "When I'm not around, up in the clouds, I know that you'll be there for me."

This continues on in the progression that TWL set out even more than "Fade." This song was also another single by the group with a fun stop-motion music video that debuted last week. The track moves into a fun groove that they had touched on with the chorus of "Let Go." There are also gang vocals which make my heart soar. As soon as this song is over, you're still singing it. Those "Woah's" will be in your head for days.

8. Red Room - "I sent a one eyed text a little too honest."

I don't have much to say about "Red Room." This is another song that reminds me much more of an indie-feel. It has hints of Elder Brother and The Front Bottoms mixed with an underlying quality that is undeniably This Wild Life.

9. Change My Sheets - "I'm spread thin like water on cement. I can't seem to get to where you went."

Odd song name, but I think this might be my favorite track off of "Low Tides." With precision guitar playing that you've come to expect from this group mixed with the heartbreaking "Where Did You Go," is beautiful. The bridge brings in a drum machine which gives a different feel than the rest and makes it unlike many other TWL songs you're familiar with. The melodies are beautiful. The lyrics are heartbreaking. The music is haunting. THAT is what TWL is all about.

10. Brick Wall - "Who will want me now, now that I've fallen from your clouds?"

Kevin Jordan's typical vocals capture you immediately with the closing of this album. It is a steady head nodding, foot tapping, song but has definite stand out moments. The most notably is the combined vocals of Anthony Del Grosso with Kevin Jordan's that people far too often over look. These guys aren't just together because they're friends. They're not together because they're great musicians. They're together because they just fit.

The music that This Wild Life makes is relatable. It's heartbreaking. It's beautiful. They don't get enough credit for their hardwork and talent. This album is sure to change that.
