Travis Klein and Jack Fawdry of the band TOVA collaborated on this brand new album All in a Look, which was self-produced and homemade. ProjeKT has four previous releases: Divinations (2022), Soul (2022), Somewhere Far Away (2023) and TOXICADA (2024).
All in a Look is comprised of 8 songs for 33 minutes of music. Before talking about the music, I want to mention the quality cover, very artistic and reflects perfectly the title. The opener Take the Low Road is robust (what a riff!) with melodic and catchy vocals (with some aggressive inserts). This is a great start and the song is probably my favourite of the album if I have to choose one. The following Sell My Heart for Razors, is more industrial with electronic parts, a very interesting solo section and a killer chorus, that will get stuck in your head. The Ones You Left Behind is more uptempo (great drumming) and more on the alternative territory for some aspects and hardcore for others, a peculiar combination and another very interesting one.
Among other tracks, I like the dark mood, the intense vocals and lyrics (and the drumming) of The Stars Can't Reflect Your Light, the riffs and the atmosphere of Way Too Low, the energy and the solo of Bled Dry and Wasted, the quirkiness of What's wrong with Wolfie? reminding me of some Marylin Manson and the (relatively) relaxed mood of the first half of the last How Sad, Really.
