Celebration Guns
Celebration Guns is preoccupied with time. It’s clear in the titles of their last three releases–2020’s On Aging Gracelessly, 2021’s The Visiting Years and 2022’s Midlife Vices. Musically, there are elements they share with the emo, math rock and indie rock bands that have come before them: bright and jaunty leads, sticky pop-rock hooks, and wild time signatures. But when it comes from Celebration Guns, it just sounds more real, somehow. Call it aging gracefully.
