The Burdens Of Being Upright
Tracy Bonham
The record demonstrates a mix of heavy instrumentation and formal musical education. Songs such as Mother Mother illustrate the unfiltered anger that helped define the post-grunge climate of the mid-nineties.
Each track balances sharp, biting lyrics with melodic hooks. The production creates an aggressive yet carefully arranged sound, reflecting the specific frustrations of the era through a combination of traditional orchestral influence and modern rock techniques.
