Label: Tiny Engines
What has always awed listeners with Signals Midwest is their larger than life hooks, embedding more than just vocal lines, guitar lines or harmonies into a song. Instead, they find ways to make everything assemble together and ring unanimously. At This Age finds the veterans of the modern emo/punk scene still kicking with a pulse, albeit it one that is energetic even while succumbing to the realization of time.
At This Age, Signals Midwest’s fourth full-length album, is both a testament to change and a reflection of a band at a pivotal moment in their lives. Produced by Into It. Over It.’s Evan Weiss at Atlas Studios in Chicago IL, At This Age might be the Cleveland, OH oufit’s most direct, stripped-down songwriting, but it’s an album that sounds huge. At times urgent and anthemic, and at others intimate and poignant, At This Age isn’t just an album, it’s a part of Signals Midwest - a cathartic release of angst and anxiety and vulnerability and maturation. It’s their way of communicating with the world and navigating the creeping fear that comes with change.
