Breaking Laces is a Brooklyn-based trio who have perfected their music in their latest album, When You Find Out, which came out yesterday. The band consists of lead singer and songwriter Willem Hartong along with bandmates Rob Chojnacki and Seth Masarsky. Having won multiple contests and selling over 40,000 albums, Breaking Laces is setting the bar higher for themselves. There’s something about Breaking Laces’ wildy daring lyrics that proves this band should do just fine in the future. As for this album, nothing sticks out more to me than the band’s resonance of almost symphonic-like tune varied among a unique down-to-earth type feeling that carries the album to greater enjoyment.
Did that make sense? No? Good, because the album jeers in madness from acoustic-pop to a more rock-influenced theme throughout which is surprisingly pleasant to the ears. Listening to the band’s earlier work, I noticed a very similar pattern: they have a hit-’em-hard mindset. Whether it’s to hit you in the heart with their songs about that one girlfriend that you can’t let go in the track “What We Need,” or the rock-heavy tune in “This World.”
