Help

Help’s new EP “Courage” is centered around heartbreak and pain. Progress as a series of fresh new hell's. Hoping that it is better to be in love than to be right, while enduring the apparent absence of both love and coherence in American culture. The short version of the story of this record is that both Ryan and Bim’s lives were exploding and falling apart. Okay okay, it's a breakup album. Their vulnerability in these songs became necessary for their personal survival. As often happens, the music became a battery for pain in which they sunk energy into for others to later draw from, hopefully transmuting negative isolation into positive solidarity and togetherness. Though deeply personal, these songs are meant as an invitation for others to feel and hurt freely. After all, this may be one of the last freedoms we get to enjoy in this crumbled world. Courage. In the face of hopelessness, in the face of everyone pretending anything is fine, in the face of the end of things meant to last and last. Courage. If the goal is growth, success is an ending. War and love are forms of death. This record is an example of the destructive nature of growth. On the planet. On the human spirit. On our ability to hold on. For the band, Courage is a step towards a broader sound and an experiment in honesty over security. If you want to gouge your eyes out because your music is so painful to you, you're onto something. Because in the end, what doesn't kill you makes your life worse.
