Girl at the Rock Shows

I love when a band says they are super proud of a song they send me. I know that’s nothing new nor is it even a super special string of words but just seeing “We’re super proud of it!” after something like “Here’s our new track!” always makes my heart flutter. Again, I know it’s nothing new and really nothing special but it’s just something small that I like seeing so I feel like I was already partially sold on “Fait Accompli” from A Quiet Collapse but I promise I did not let my bias influence why I’m sharing this song with you today. I’m sharing this song with you because, not only should the band be proud of it, it’s a stunner of a track.

This some is an emo anthem through and through. You can feel emotion dripping from every beat, not just every word, right off the bat but even that wasn’t what caught me. What caught me here are the dynamics. The song starts off almost like a hurried whisper but quickly turns into an explosion of emotion and grit before falling back into something a bit more anthemic and soaring. I feel like A Quiet Collapse goes through these motions over and over again throughout this three minute and sixteen song but is constantly changing up how these motions hit you. Sometimes the tender moments choke you up but others give you a feeling of enthusiastic triumph. Some of the grittier parts will make you knock over your desk and participate in a one-person mosh pit whereas at other times that grit will give you the motivation to put your head down and conquer that pile of work sitting in front of you. Regardless of what ride “Fait Accompli” takes you on, it’s a ride you want so check it out and show this band some live.
