Scowl - Are We All Angels (Olive Green Vinyl) LP
With Are We All Angels, Scowl take a major step forward in their evolution, delivering release that pushes the boundaries of modern hardcore. Emerging from Santa Cruz’s vibrant scene, the band has quickly risen to prominence and this album solidifies their status as one of the most dynamic and forward thinking acts in contemporary punk and hardcore.
Produced by Will Yip and mixed by Rich Costey, the album presents a refined yet expansive sound that builds on the foundation of their earlier work. While still rooted in raw aggression and punk ethos, Are We All Angels explores broader sonic territory incorporating melody, texture and alternative influences without losing its intensity.
Lyrically, the album dives deep into themes of alienation, grief and identity, reflecting the band’s rapid rise and their complex relationship with the hardcore scene. Tracks like Not Hell, Not Heaven confront perception and personal struggle, delivering an honest and emotionally charged perspective.
Frontwoman Kat Moss showcases a notable evolution in vocal style, moving between biting intensity and more nuanced, melodic delivery. This shift adds depth and contrast, allowing the album to feel both powerful and introspective. Instrumentally, the band draws from a wide spectrum of influences, resulting in a sound that is diverse yet cohesive.
Despite its experimental edge, Are We All Angels never loses sight of its roots. The band remains deeply connected to the spirit of punk and hardcore channeling frustration, energy and community into every track.
Pressed on olive green vinyl, this edition reflects the album’s unique identity and offers a standout collectible for fans. A bold and emotionally resonant release, Are We All Angels captures Scowl at a pivotal moment in their journey.
