Athletics - Who You Are Is Not Enough (2014)

The third album from post-rock / post-hardcore heroes ATHLETICS, Who You Are Is Not Enough, is nothing short of breathtaking. A conceptual record about the quest to find oneself, the album was written as one song separated into five parts relating to love, loss and acceptance. This 10 track re-release includes the original 5 track album plus an instrumental version of each part dubbed the 'Find Yourself' tracks. As this is an album about finding yourself, we felt it was only appropriate to remove the albeit very poetic lyrics in order to give the listener an option to create his or her own experience to the music without any pre-conceived ideas. It's a powerful, unique, genre-spanning album that stands on its own with or without lyrics. Fans now have a choice on how to make the most of this beautiful album by Athletics. Sophisticated artistry with a beautiful edge.
