HIGHER POWER "There's Love In This World If You Want It" Tape

There’s Love In This World If You Want It’ is a record that encapsulates the Higher Power spirit in a way that only those whose hearts are truly entrenched in the band can produce. Peeling away layers of assumption and ideology placed upon them by others and focusing once more on the genre-splicing experimentation that inspired them to create together in the first place, they have produced nine songs that showcase exactly what they are made of in a screaming rainbow of colour.

Where ’27 Miles Underwater’ saw them working alongside legendary alterna
tive producer Gil Norton, ‘There’s Love...’ stayed totally in-house, with guitarist Louis Hardy, returning back to the fold in 2022 following a slight departure in 2021, taking what had accumulated into 40 different demos and narrowing them down to what made sense to the who the band were in the here and now. Saying that, there are ideas that made the cut that date back as far as their 2018 tour with Vein.FM. There are also some, like the beautifully breezy ‘All The Rage’ that started out as trip-hop experiments never destined for band deliberation before becoming the all-out Foo Fighters worship you hear now. It's all been a case of letting what feels good lead the way.

And in not being afraid of their past, allowing it to be as much a part of their present as it guides them towards their future, Higher Power has forged a project that scratches every itch they have. There are crushing breakdowns bookending the aggressively angular ‘Two Doors Down’, and gorgeously loose chords and spine-tingling solos poured all over ‘Lunar Tuesday’. ‘Better’ floats by with carefree wonderment, whilst ‘Count The Miles’ rips and tears with boundless glee. And with heavenly strings and euphoric atmospheres aplenty, the closing crescendo of 'My Sweet Surrender' pushes things to even headier heights, a fitting flight into the great unknown that is still to occur. It's volatile and vibrant, weird and wonderful, boundless and brash. A symphony of expression that defines Higher Power whilst also placing them in a lane all of their own.
