On the other hand, their penchant for delivering potent, hook-laden melodies, like those found in “Julio” and the pop-tinged ditty “Trace Amounts,” sweeten up the deal. It gets things going at an accelerated pace, though it leaves the album plenty of room to pick up speed. Kicking the album off with “Forget Me Not” gets it started with the kind of hardcore-laced punk rock that their fundamental ‘sound’ is built on. But with Take Back the Night, I think you could use the so-called ‘next step’ logic because of it’s variety of undertones that’re reminiscent of a lot of what’s found on their last couple of releases. I don’t like drawing comparisons but if you really need a frame of reference, sometimes albums like Sugarfix and Young and Looking Good might come to mind. This new album, Take Back the Night, is the band’s thirteenth full-length studio release, but it’s the first one to come out on Burger Records–a label with a stellar roster that’s massively diverse, a hundred thousand tons o’ fun and CONSTANTLY being added to (so be sure to follow the link). It left me feeling a little bit like a kid counting down the days to Christmas. That kind of time can breed a high level of anticipation. The Dwarves haven’t released a full-length studio album since Invented Rock & Roll back in August of 2014.
