The Higher Desires remind us of its ability to heal, to honor, to uplift. Their new release, “Unknown Soldiers (Veterans Edition),” is no exception to the rule and is a touching tribute to all who’ve served. From its first chord, the song grabs listeners with a gauntlet of raw indie rock vitality, a sense of urgency and heart that can’t be blanked.
The high-octane drive grinds to a halt as the band pauses to let a plaintive mix of Taps ring out on electric guitar, a respectful homage to the fallen that lingers long after services have ended. The tensions of intensity and silence, of chaos and quietude, are emblematic of the havoc, but also the sanctity, of service, and Forge’s emotional topography rings authentic and heartfelt.
“Unknown Soldiers (Veterans Edition)” secures its place as one of the most emotionally gripping songs of the year. For fans of indie rock that demands depth, purpose, and passion in every note, The Higher Desires have produced a record that will echo long after the speakers go silent.
