For All The Hope We Hold- Skybound Review

Local band Skybound is releasing its debut full-length album. The album features 10 songs including Void and Bipolar Bear. The Album will be coming out on June 15 th . Tiago was kind enough to give us here at The Ottawa Sound an early look at the album. The album is a concept album that follows a young fighter pilot that has crashed his plane during the second world war and finds a mysterious island. Each song is a journal entry from the perspective of the pilot. I'm willing to admit that before I listened to this album I was not a huge fan of instrumental music, but this album has thoroughly changed my mind. Song 1: Void This song is about the pilot crashing his plane and how he feels hopeless. The song starts with a lamenting vocal line that brings across the despair and hopelessness that the pilot must feel. Then the music erupts and you start to sense his determination to survive. Skybound is a seriously talented group of musicians and this song goes to show it. 9/10
