Description
Oh! Gravity, the highly anticipated sixth album from Switchfoot, contains 12 new tracks written by the band and produced by Tim Paler (Pearl Jam, U2) & Switchfoot themselves with Grammy®-winning executive producer Steve Lillywhite.
The new album expands Switchfoot's sonic palette while at the same time dealing with social issues on songs like the alt-country blues of "Dirty Second Hands," in which Jon Foreman sings of the dehumanization that comes with technology. Other politically motivated tracks include "Oh! Gravity," the title track's generational appeal for love, peace and understanding, "American Dream," with its biting truth, "Awakening," about trying to recover the innocence of a child in the midst of an ever-harsher reality, the sawing alt-country "Head Over Heels," the exotic instrumentation and Middle Eastern flavor of "Circles," the REM-esque pulse of "4:12," the lush Brit-pop melodies of "Yesterdays," the Echo and Bunnymen/Smith influenced "Burn Our Bright" and Motown sound of "Amateur Lovers."
