Love Alarm by Scott Ibex
Love Alarm - Artist's Notes
Unyielding in its dramatic intention to exalt earnest indie-pop sensibilities, this emblematic journey considers love in all its forms. As the romantic fuel for 'Love is a Freeway' meets a prayer for interpersonal honor to supplant fear-based emotions in 'Show Me Your Soul', the polygon of heart unfolds. 'Jesus Christ (What's to Come?)' proceeds to exhume a searing emotional plea to resurrect grace in a desensitized computer age. Ultimately, the noble idea of living through love rings aloud as an alternative to war in the title track.
As 'Love Alarm' boldly sounds off, the consummate musicianship of the creative team behind the album plays with flying colors. It took years to assemble this allstar cast of my favorite musicians in Utah. What happened between us was nothing short of a sublime envelope-melting magnetism. As an artist, I knew the pathway to beauty would cut no corners. We sometimes needed 60 tracks a song to let these tunes breathe on their own accord, with diamond-like purity. What resulted was the opportunity to try things we've never done before as a band. And what became was forever. -SI
