Before After Again returns with their second full-length album, simply titled “Again.” Drawing upon darkwave, post-punk, and industrial influences, this release marks a confident evolution in the band’s sound.
A Darker Evolution
Written by Jason Whitcomb and produced by Kevin Hartnell, the album features 11 tracks that blend gritty electro-rock textures with melodic sensibilities. Tracks like “Sweet Candy” and “Not to Speak” showcase the duo’s ability to balance aggression with atmosphere.
Spotlight: VWS
One of the standout tracks on the album is “VWS.” While the full meaning of the acronym has been partially lost to time, the band recalls the first word stands for “Violated”—a theme echoed in the song’s crawling, uneasy rhythm.
Lyrics:
Looks like a scene from a movie
Drags like a nail on the blackboard
Crawls like a limb gone numb
Cries like a lamb for the slaughter
Turns out we’ve all been before her
See how your senses blur
The light’s on
But nobody’s home
Click the lock pull the key
The medicine flows
The light’s on
But nobody’s home
Click the lock pull the key and the switch while
The medicine flows
Eat like a long lost survivor
Choke down the lies that you’ve told her
All while she watches on
Clean all the stains that you’ve left there
Burn all the remnants
And know where
I’m on the prowl again
