Album Review: I Beat Loneliness by Bush

Possessing a surprising authenticity and emotional resonance, Gavin returns with an album of introspection and vulnerability. While longtime fans may disagree, I don't feel like Bush even tried to establish their own sound until the release of The Kingdom in 2020--a full twenty-six years after the release of their debut album. Prior to that, it felt like the band were always chasing the latest musical trend. Whether it was the alternative rock of their early material, the electronic elements implemented during the brief "electronica" fad, or the more modern rock approach of their 'comeback' releases, it always felt like the band were on the tail-end of whatever was currently popular in rock.

In a fearless and unswerving dive into the depths of the complexities of the human experience, Bush return with their 10th studio album with a resolute, never-say-die attitude and a more experimental sound. With 'I Beat Loneliness' Bush delivers a bold exploration of mental health and personal transformation, marking a new era for the band. With raw, confessional lyrics and their trademark thunderous guitars and driving percussion, the album goes beyond music, it’s a playbook of survival and resilience, taking listeners on an emotional journey that hits hard both musically and personally.
