The Easy Button - Through Our Own Parade (2024)

After their longest ever break between releases, The Easy Button are back with a new album:Through Our Own Parade. In a change of approach from their "kitchen sink" of an album, Lost on Purpose, the band aimed for a much more cohesive collection of songs with greater consistency in both musical style and lyrical themes. Though steeped in melancholy (this IS The Easy Button we're talking about), Through Our Own Parade also weaves a more positive thread within the overall tapestry. Taken from a lyric in the song, "At the Edge of Town," the title conveys the difficulty of having endured something heartbreaking to emerge on the other side stronger, changed for the better and in view of brighter days ahead. Put simply, "this too shall pass," even for us sad boys.
