Someday, Buddy goes a step further from the band’s debut, Rookie, to a tighter take on TTWT’s melodic alt-rock. As singer Thomas Calder puts it, “We made a conscious decision to challenge ourselves to focus on minimal instrumentation and production in the recording process to place more emphasis on the song-writing.” The songs take the emphasis, no trouble. TTWT weren’t slouching on Rookie, where they wedded vibrant melodies and alt-rock flavors – jangly, glam – into a cogent core. But on Someday, Buddy, their personality emerges sharper. “Our goal was to make a record that is raw, bare and honest,” says Calder.
