Hurry Up, Brothers - All Is Beautiful. I'm Okay to be Alive. I'm Okay to Die (2021)


A new post-rock band from US, Hurry Up, Brothers make "noise for the restless" in the form of moody but not too loud or overwhelming instrumental guitar music. Their debut album All Is Beautiful. I'm Okay to be Alive. I'm Okay to Die brings a lot of  uniqueness to the calmer side of post-rock.

The album's title suggests inspirations with emo/post-hardcore music (it really sounds like an ironical response to The World Is a Beautiful Place & I Am No Longer Afraid to Die) but there's nothing much from those genres in their music. On the contrary, it is more into reflective, not too noisy but extremely artsy experience. The instruments are not hidden behind the walls of noise which in a way sounds like acoustic instrumental and jazzy collaboration but put through a modern post-rock filter. 

Kind of in opposition to the album's title, the band seems to be concerned over the state of the world as it is now, the songs are entitled in a rather meaningful way, especially one of the album's best (and gloomiest) Revolt! This Is an Ecological Crisis. Those vibes of the danger we live in, are present in some of the more unnerving and noisier fragments of the album (particularly the voice samples appearing from time to time), but in general, the overwhelming feeling of the weight put on the aesthetic side of the music is dominant.

All Is Beautiful. I'm Okay to be Alive. I'm Okay to Die costs 5 USD.
