The last five years for Chicago-based Attack the Sound have been one of growth, evolution, and continuous applause from audiences. Now, armed with their current excitement for Love Is War: Packed, the crew revives their chart-topping single Love Is War, offering the nostalgic-fresh experience that touches upon the old song's heavy impact yet blew their Chi-Pop sound even higher.
Attack the Sound is making a statement from the onset: they are not revisiting the past; they are re-establishing it. Thus, the project embraces the anniversary of their earth-swaying tune Love Is War while also offering fans exclusive remixes, reworked renditions, and new material that expands upon the original's cinematic storytelling. Love Is War has already made a name for itself with an eclectic blend of jazz, R&B, and indie pop, but Packed turns it up a notch with deeper textures, bombastic arrangements, and an outrageous emotional range.
Love Is War: Packed succeeds with the fact that it links the previous and present amazingly. True admirers of the original will find solace in the intricate refinement in the production the crispness of the instrumentation, thicker harmonies, and that infectious energy, eroding the bounds of Attack the Sound's artistic growth.
Meanwhile, new listeners will be drawn by the band’s infectious sound-like spirited vocals, raucous brass sections, and admirable genre-bending versatility. The out-and-out remixes bring fresh edges, each offering yet another take on a track that has already more than stood the test of time.
But beyond its sonic brilliance, Love Is War: Packed signifies Attack the Sound's power and acceptance. Down the years, they’ve shared stages with greats like Isaiah Sharkey, Bianca Shaw, and Taylor Bennett, played in major festivals like the Taste of Chicago and NXNE, and got they’re even signed to sync with NBA’s Chicago Bulls. They’ve been successfully changing through the eons while sticking true to their original ethos this is what makes this EP impressive.
For veteran supporters and first-time listeners alike, Love Is War: Packed is not merely an anniversary project. Rather, it is a statement of artistic growth and sustainable relevance by Attack the Sound. While harkening to the past, this EP conjures up an exciting perspective on the road ahead. Balanced between nostalgia and modernity, Love Is War: Packed truly shows that some bands and some songs, simply get better in time.
