Sonically, it\u2019s a dreamy guitar-rock record infused with shoegaze and noise-pop textures: drifting through warm, fuzzy soundscapes before pulling listeners back into tension, doom, and angst.<\/p>\n<p><i>We Are Imaginary<\/i>\u00a0was also recorded by\u00a0<b>Angee Rozul\u00a0<\/b>and Santos at\u00a0<b>Love One Another<\/b>\u00a0studio, and was mixed by the latter and mastered by\u00a0<b>Adam Haggar<\/b>\u00a0at\u00a0<b>Mount Olympia Mastering<\/b>.<\/p>\n<p>Frontman Ahmad Tanji describes the record as an internal monologue: one that begins in uncertainty and gradually opens into moments of understanding and calm. Rather than chasing resolution, the 9-track release embraces the idea that not all experiences require closure.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis collection also feels more cohesive,\u201d Tanji reveals. \u201cThere\u2019s a sense of comfort and confidence when we started laying down our parts. I guess that comes with growing with the band for 17 years and trusting the people you work with.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>On their self-titled record, the band allows itself to inhabit extremes: hushed passages give way to surging intensity, and vulnerability coexists with restraint. The result is a cohesive and patient record, unburdened by the need to prove anything. \u201cIt felt unforced,\u201d Tanji shares, crediting the band\u2019s 17 years together for the sense of comfort and trust that shaped the sessions.<\/p>\n<p>Designed to be experienced as a complete work, We Are Imaginary rewards attentive listening. Its sequencing, subtle shifts, and quiet moments form a gradual arc: one best heard in a single sitting, on vinyl or through good speakers or headphones.<\/p>\n<p>Tanji explains it best: \u201cAngee Rozul worked with our taste and style perfectly as our recording engineer, letting us lean towards a more \u201890s sound this time around, while Joey (Santos) gave\u00a0each\u00a0song a massive\u00a0and dynamic mix. We would exchange several drafts per song, stripping them to their most essential, capturing what arrangement works with the story.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>With this release, We Are Imaginary presents an honest distillation of who they are now: assured, reflective, and fully at ease with the space they occupy.<\/p>\n<p>Thank you for taking time to read.<\/p>\n<p>\ud83d\udce9 \ud835\ude0b\ud835\ude14 \ud835\ude27\ud835\ude30\ud835\ude33 \ud835\ude0a\ud835\ude30\ud835\ude2d\ud835\ude2d\ud835\ude22\ud835\ude23\ud835\ude34, \ud835\ude0d\ud835\ude26\ud835\ude22\ud835\ude35\ud835\ude36\ud835\ude33\ud835\ude26, \ud835\ude22\ud835\ude2f\ud835\ude25 \ud835\ude17\ud835\ude33\ud835\ude30\ud835\ude2e\ud835\ude30\ud835\ude35\ud835\ude2a\ud835\ude30\ud835\ude2f\ud835\ude34 \u2b07\ufe0f\u2b07\ufe0f\u2b07\ufe0f\u2b07\ufe0f\u2b07\ufe0f<\/p>\n<p>Read my Column at Opinyon Panay https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/OpinYonPanay<\/p>\n<p>IG www.instagram.com\/Homeschoolingiscool<\/p>\n<p>FB Name: www.facebook.com\/ armi.pineda<\/p>\n<p>Fb page:https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/Homeiskoolcom<\/p>\n<p>YouTube Account: https:\/\/youtube.com\/channel\/UCAEszY-nm4XIPSphcppyilw<\/p>\n<p>TikTok Account: https:\/\/vt.tiktok.com\/ZGJkEHsLh\/<\/p>\n<p>Twitter Www.twitter.com\/Armipazpineda<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"m#msg-a:r-1307067318706930720-footer\" class=\"mail-message-footer spacer collapsible\"><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Prepare for thrills and excitement in my latest story!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":8136,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[57,340,68],"class_list":["post-8134","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-uncategorized","tag-nyoupr","tag-weareimaginary","tag-nyou"],"pageone_source":{"pageone_source":"Nyou","author_name":"Armi Paz Pineda"},"_pageone_source":"Nyou","zyndk8_nxtgen_metadata":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/dynamic-silver-sheep.82-197-71-20.cpanel.site\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/8134","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/dynamic-silver-sheep.82-197-71-20.cpanel.site\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/dynamic-silver-sheep.82-197-71-20.cpanel.site\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dynamic-silver-sheep.82-197-71-20.cpanel.site\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dynamic-silver-sheep.82-197-71-20.cpanel.site\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=8134"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/dynamic-silver-sheep.82-197-71-20.cpanel.site\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/8134\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dynamic-silver-sheep.82-197-71-20.cpanel.site\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/8136"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/dynamic-silver-sheep.82-197-71-20.cpanel.site\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=8134"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dynamic-silver-sheep.82-197-71-20.cpanel.site\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=8134"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dynamic-silver-sheep.82-197-71-20.cpanel.site\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=8134"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
