Introducing "Never A Part" by The Fourth Wall, a track that is a compelling blend of ambient beats and radio-ready ambient vocals, nestled in the realms of Alternative Rock, Noise Rock, and Shoegaze. This song is part of their upcoming album "Return Forever," which promises to be a fever dream of a record, exploring the unresolved complexities of the immigrant experience in America through nine chapters. The song, similar in style to artists like Deerhunter, Slow Pulp, and SPIRIT OF THE BEEHIVE, poses a profound question: what is the price we pay for joy, and is it worth it? This theme of exchange, the paradox of joy for memory, is intricately woven throughout the album, driven by songwriter Stephen Agustin's mastery of electric guitar soundscapes and the distorted, impassioned harmonies he shares with band member Kendall Sallay. "Never A Part" delves into the loss that comes with erasure. It is a beautiful, frustrated conversation imagined between Agustin's grandmother and her grandson, highlighting the deep wells of love and loss that underlie the immigrant experience. The song encapsulates the divine mystery of unconditional love, despite the irreconcilable distances of time, language, and culture. Listen now.
