It’s easy to love everything going on through the messy, yellow stained window of twentythreenineteen’s “Stain Glass Slaring” if you enjoyed the slanted view on Sweet Pill’s breakthrough debut full-length last year, Where the Heart Is, being that guitarist Sean McCall plays an instrumental part in architecting the framework behind both. As the first preview from All This Love, the forthcoming extended play from his forthcoming side-project under the XXIIIXIX banner, he uses some of the familiar x’s and y’s of Sweet Pill’s mathematically progressive emotional rock headcharge, but gives himself permission to flail with all the conflicted problem solving remaining in sight. At times, he’s simply resolute in his Braid-ed post-hardcore thought bubbles, and in others, digs down deep into rabbit holes only to pop out with the realizations he’s looking for. “I was a kid who couldn’t process compassion! / I was a chump who could never learn his lesson!,” he shouts at its epiphany. The window may not be perfectly clear, but he’s seeing himself better now through it at least…

twentythreenineteen’s All This Love will be released August 31st.
