Miss May I Album Apologies Are For The Weak Rar

The HIRS Collective has a unified purpose: to defend, examine and extol the survival of trans and queer outcasts. After a series of several 7"s and cassettes, its proper debut album, Friends. Lovers. Favorites., the band with an anonymous and fluid membership focuses its mission. "You're a huge reason we are still alive" begins "Wake Up Tomorrow" with a chugging riff that could level buildings. "We're not as weak as some of you may think," they scream over a jagged, Blood Brothers-style skree on "Hard to Get," hammering their harsh existence with resistance: "This skin that's thick came from a f***-load of violence / We're through and stronger than you've considered." And on the title track, HIRS expresses gratitude to those who share their love and solidarity: "We truly feel that anything we've ever put out into the world is being returned in the sweetest way by the sweetest people."

The glistening melting synthesizers on The Final Decision, juxtaposed with the heavy orchestral drones of Inner Conflict, and the slow acid-pulse of No Regrets, highlight the many outstanding styles you can find across the album, without a weak track amongst it. Malm manages to capture nearly every single element of electronic ambient music I love; be it the ability to transport to an off-world, the detailed textures that bring it life, the storytelling as the album evolves, or the melodies that make you hit repeat again and again.
