Paramore have begun to reveal the details of their forthcoming new album, This Is Why. The first album by the pop-punk pioneers since 2017's New Wave-inspired After Laughter, This Is Why has been preceded by its title track; a spiky lament about social commentary and the nature of online criticism, which sounds a lot like a (very good) Talking Heads song.
Speaking to The Guardian, Hayley Williams, Taylor York and Zac Farro confirm that the album's sonics will be a step-away from the heavy synths of After Laughter, instead finding new life in a soundtrack of 00s indie landfill.
As such, the album carries heavy influences from the British indie-rock outfit Bloc Party, as well as finding modern-day inspiration through the sound of breakthrough darlings Wet Leg. "It felt so urgent," Williams says of the sound. "Important, a little bit cocky.
Bloc Party, Yeah Yeah Yeahs, the Rapture, Glassjaw – those are characters, people that were larger-than-life indie superstars."
