On Jeff Rosenstock’s new album,
HELLMODE, the spontaneous DIY trailblazer returns with the most confident & cohesive album of his career. Recorded at EastWest Studios with Grammy nominated engineer Jack Shirley (Deafheaven, Joyce Manor) and captured live to tape in the same room where albums like Everybody Knows This Is Nowhere and Toxicity were recorded,
HELLMODE finds Rosenstock holding nothing back. The studio’s infamous natural tones are juxtaposed with echo chambers used on Pet Sounds, calling to mind the mixture of despair and clear-eyed hope heard throughout the record. The album features massive pop gems like “FUTURE IS DUMB,” “DOUBT,” and “LIKED U BETTER,” as well as softer songs such as “HEALMODE,” showcasing an intimate, immediate sound.
