Providence, released on Double Six, is All We Are’s most euphoric and propulsive work to date, underpinned with a warmth that runs through everything the Liverpool-based trio do. With Providence, All We Are have created an album celebrating the universal virtues of love, loss, sex, friendship and dance.
Ireland’s Richard O’Flynn (drums), Norway’s Guro Gikling (bass) and Brazil’s Luis Santos (guitar), recorded their third record in Liverpool in a retired school building. Where its predecessor had been clouded by anxieties, manifesting in drone-indebted guitars and a dark heaviness, Providence lands with a lighter touch aided by working with producer Dave McCracken (Depeche Mode, dEUS).
Offering respite from the gloom, the album’s driving force is the power of music to heal, no matter what your beliefs or worries.
