This album features amazing melodies and gritty instrumentals that showcase what makes indie-rock amazing. Written while on tour with very little privacy and not much time off, you can feel the frantic energy in <em>Thin Walls<\/em> come out and add a sense of depth to the album.<\/p>\n<p>The lyrics are the all-star of the album. It&#8217;s easy to turn <em>Thin Walls<\/em> on and find yourself in the lyrics, whether it be lines that portray fear and anxiety like &#8220;when did all the streets get so empty \/\u00a0and when did all the music die on me&#8221; from &#8220;Wait Any Longer&#8221; or happier tracks that share the feeling of love and companionship such as the peppier track &#8220;Nightclub.&#8221;\u00a0Overall, Balthazar did indie-rock right on their newest album and it&#8217;s definitely worth a listen.<br \/>\n<b><br \/>\nRecommended If You Like: The Van Jets, Oscar And The Wolf<br \/>\n<\/b><\/p>\n<p><b>Recommended Tracks: 1 (Decency), 6 (Dirty Love)<br \/>\n<\/b><\/p>\n<p><b>Do Not Play: None<br \/>\n<\/b><\/p>\n<p><b>Written by Lexi Adams on 10\/25\/15 <\/b><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Belgium-based indie-rock band Balthazar features amazing melodies and lyrics that showcase an amazing album and a career best.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":6333,"featured_media":38094,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[4,3235,3230,181],"tags":[3707,3706,3708],"class_list":["post-38093","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-music","category-music-reviews","category-new-music-rotation","category-rock-rotation","tag-balthazar","tag-lexi-adams","tag-thin-walls"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/kjhk.org\/web\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/10\/Balthazar-Thin-Walls.jpg?fit=300%2C300&ssl=1","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/kjhk.org\/web\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/38093","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/kjhk.org\/web\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/kjhk.org\/web\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kjhk.org\/web\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/6333"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kjhk.org\/web\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=38093"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/kjhk.org\/web\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/38093\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kjhk.org\/web\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/38094"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/kjhk.org\/web\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=38093"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kjhk.org\/web\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=38093"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kjhk.org\/web\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=38093"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
