36? have today released their new album titled ‘finding love // having autism’. How should I start? This is a hard album to write anything about, to be honest. It’s all over and way out there. But, in a way, I get it. I get it because it’s all over and way out there. There are massive hooks laced throughout the album. There is also a dissonance rarely found in music. There is a playful sense of experimentation that most artists fear to try.
‘finding love // having autism’ is a sonic journey into another universe that, while is impossible to guess where it’s going, or to even try to define it, works. It works on all levels and begs another listen because it wants to be understood. And, while some may say it simply is, you can also say it will always be. This is what original music sounds like when it works. It makes you think.
About ‘finding love // having autism’
As confidential as it may be grandiose, the new record from 36? showcases the inner turmoils of a person with autism attempting to find love within themselves and from others. Containing as many elements of bliss as it does chaos, finding love // having autism transcends into a relatable journey for many. With tracks that switch swiftly between speak-singing and passionate screams of rage, the album offers a sonic bouquet of indie rock, art pop, and avant-pop. Aurally reminiscent of early era WAVVES, Animal Collective, and Akron/Family, the new record is all yours to stream on November 8th.
