While Angels Sleep is A Floor Below’s Album Out Now
Good Day Noir Family,
The moment I hit play on While Angels Sleep and the first track “Unsettled” began, I was immediately drawn in by the raw, slightly muffled production.
While Angels Sleep is A Floor Below’s Album Out Now
There’s an intriguing dystopian feel to the sound that catches your attention right away.
The melody of this track has echoes of Alice in Chains, bringing back strong 90s grunge vibes. That gritty, authentic sound sets the stage for the rest of the album.
One great track is “The Black,” where A Floor Below shows their ability to craft songs that feel deeply real and straight from the heart. There’s a subtle Pink Floyd influence here, turning the song into a beautiful ballad with a melancholic touch.
“Home” takes that further, with a guitar solo that is reminiscent of Gilmour’s soaring, emotive playing.
“Six Feet Down” is another track that hits hard, blending grunge influences with a driving rhythm that gives it an edgy, almost acidic tone—perfect for the intensity the song delivers.
Meanwhile, “Unmade Amends” makes you want to sing along, especially during the passionate and energetic chorus. The vocal delivery here is particularly standout, brimming with emotion.
The album wraps up with the title track “While Angels Sleep,” which ties together all the sonic themes present throughout. It carries an almost post-apocalyptic feel, a sound that feels both introspective and expansive.
What struck me most about this album is its cohesiveness all the tunes are solid. Each song feels like it’s a piece of a bigger vision, and the band’s distinctive sound never wavers.
