A Place of Our Own

by Have Mercy

Overview

Freshly signed to the Hopeless Records roster, Baltimore indie rockers Have Mercy deliver their second LP, A Place of Our Own. Building on the platform of their strong 2013 debut The Earth Pushed Back, they offer a blend of thoughtful, introspective songwriting with elements of post-hardcore, emo, and mainstream indie. Cleaner and more straightforward than their debut, A Place of Our Own dials down some of the aggression in favor of craftsmanship and warmth, even adding a solo acoustic track ("Inch by Inch") by singer/guitarist Brian Swindle. Still, in spite of some of the more laid-back elements, there are plenty of rock moments, with most of the tracks constructed to build slowly toward an epic payoff. Swindle has not abandoned his throaty emo howl, though it's not without a more sentimental feeling this time around. ~ Timothy Monger
