Drenched in golden shades of reminiscence and beats that reverberate deep into your soul, Flight Attendant’s latest musical spectacle, “Therapy Couch,” dives headfirst into the abyss of relationships – and it ain’t no smooth sailing. Picture this: An evening colored with the gloomy shades of sepia, where silhouettes of two souls clash amidst flickering candlelight, rage and nostalgia forming the background score. Just the kind of dark drama Mr. Tarantino might serve you on a rainy night.
Like a bolt of lightning in the vast expanse of a tempestuous night, Karalyne’s voice strikes, narrating the tumultuous tale of love gone sour on a living room couch. With lyrics raw as wounds yet to heal, and emotions so palpable, it’s as if the story unfolds right before your eyes. The thumping beats set forth by Derek Sprague, are the very heartbeats of every scorned lover, seeking solace in a late-night gym run, while the electric strums of Vincent Maniscalco are the wild, erratic thoughts that cloud the mind in the aftermath of a breakup. Adding a touch of surrealism to the narrative is Nicole Christie’s viola, like a gentle whisper amidst the chaos, a fleeting reminder of the love that once was.
Drawing parallels from their rock ancestry with elements of No Doubt’s rebellious vibes and Fleetwood Mac’s timeless charm, “Therapy Couch” serves as a wake-up call. A reminder to keep the arguments where they belong – preferably with a therapist and not on your favorite IKEA couch.
Flight Attendant’s origin story – with intoxicating nights at Nashville’s 5th & Taylor and booze-infused jam sessions – hints at their recipe for success: a fine blend of talent, camaraderie, and a whole lot of wine. With a sound that’s as distinct as it’s intoxicating, they’ve embarked on a sonic journey, weaving narratives that resonate with every heart that’s loved and lost.
Their choice of the moniker, Flight Attendant, draws inspiration from the thrill of the skies, the adventure, and, well, cocktails at high altitudes. As they soar higher in the musical stratosphere, they pay homage to the spirit of exploration, wanderlust, and of course, the iconic Lisa – the wind beneath their wings.
Enjoy this visual masterpiece, there’s a lesson to be learned – to let go of the emotional baggage, to soar above the clouds of past regrets, and as Karalyne rightly points out, to be better. Let’s face it, no one wants to be stuck on the ground, especially when there’s a whole sky out there to conquer. Flight Attendant is in full throttle and, make no mistake, they’re taking no prisoners on this flight.
Verdict: Buckle up and get ready for a wild, emotional turbulence with “Therapy Couch.” Whether you’re nursing a broken heart or simply in the mood for a powerful jam, Flight Attendant’s got your ticket. Tray tables up, the flight to sonic nirvana has taken off.
