Louisiana-based act Troy Bennett’s Graveyard Lips delivers cathartic and introspective album (Bare)Ly Existing, which expels a lifetime of confusion and sadness within an expressive sonic journey that manages to be optimistic and melancholic in perfect halves.
The album opens with the layered composition of “Dr(0)Ne -,” which brings heartfelt vocals together with eerie sound design for a dramatic and dynamic beginning, before following up with a series of singer-songwriter tracks brimming with emotion and thoughtful within gentler, acoustic-led sonics.
While the project’s intricate texturing is unveiled with the gritty electric guitars of the title track juxtaposed against the anthemic quality of “Leap Year,” the choir-style vocal layers of tracks like “Longing Vestiges,” showcase the clean and emotional voice quality.
Having begun in 2019 as a way to reflect upon the apathy of humanity through music, Troy Bennett's Graveyard Lips brings forth messages of empathy, kindness and love with a well-written and graceful artistry.
