RETIREMENT PARTY are emo party rockers from the windy city of Chicago.
Carly Cosgrove:
Rising from the fiercely DIY Philadelphia underground, CARLY COSGROVE graft achingly vulnerable lyrics atop a bed of mathy rhythms, intricate guitar work and a penchant for indie-rock cool meets emo authenticity. Their debut album, 2022’s *See You In Chemistry*, was the sound of figuring life out in real time, tracing personal growth through anxiety, depression, and self-actualization – heavy subjects for a band originally formed as a low-stress side-project stopgap in 2018.
That quest for the answers to life's big questions is once again front and center on the band’s second album, *THE CLEANEST OF HOUSES ARE EMPTY*, as Naylor, bassist Helen Barsz and drummer Tyler Kramer find themselves face to face with the chronic emotional struggles of life in the modern age.
From the stop-start polyrhythms of first single “You Old Dog” and
garage-rock sheen of “Random Dancing” and “What Are You, A Cop,” which sounds like Motion City Soundtrack filtering “Everlong” through their idiosyncratic rock tilt, *The Cleanest Of Houses *is the type of record Carly Cosgrove simply *couldn’t* have made last time – not musically, and certainly not emotionally. They needed to live, through hard touring and harder life experiences.
