Melodic hardcore / pop punk hybrid-ers One Step Closer have dropped another new single with a video to accompany it just days before their new album drops. “Blur My Memory” is an instant sing along track with a beat that will get you moving and it comes from “All You Embrace”, the bands new album which drops this Friday.
‘All You Embrace’ follows 2021’s ‘This Place You Know’ and 2023’s ‘Songs For The Willow‘ which catapulted One Step Closer into the ranks of the most exciting new bands coming out of hardcore. ‘All You Embrace’ makes good on all of that potential, leaning into the most melodic elements of the band’s sound without sacrificing an ounce of energy. The album finds One Step Closer exploring the sonic overlaps of hardcore, emo, ’90s alternative, and more–resulting in the most ambitious songs they’ve ever written.
“I wanted to showcase One Step Closer in its fullest state,” explains vocalist Ryan Savitski. “Every single part of the band, I wanted it to be there. I wanted us to be 100% ourselves and be as authentic to our band as we could possibly be.” And ‘All You Embrace’ is certainly imbued with that sense of identity, a testament to knowing who you are in a world of uncertainties, and a powerful new era for One Step Closer.
