“Thistroubledsoul,” is an immersive dive into dark alternative rock that demonstrates how deeply Highroad No. 28 is embedding itself within the genre. The Orchard (Sony Music) gets the song out to the world and it’s both intimate and colossal, a confession murmured through colossal walls of sound.
The song opens with a brooding atmosphere and striking guitar lines that envelop the listener. It gradually raises the tension on purpose. Every note feels heavy, as if every chord is bearing up against the song’s central themes of turmoil within oneself, perseverance, and silent struggle for emotional survival. The production walks the fine line between a thrilling atmosphere and a powerful melody, giving the song room to breathe without losing its urgency.
At the heart of it is a real take that sounds human, with emotional cracks evident in its actual cracks as touched on by the song’s own lyrics. Highroad No. 28 doesn’t need bombastic mood and melody to tell the story. The movement remains with you long after the last note has faded away.
“Thistroubledsoul” is the ideal track for alternative rock and emotionally charged playlists. It has a comfortable sound that falls neatly between dark and atmospheric on one side and soaring and melodic on the other. It’s a song that doesn’t just provoke an emotional reaction, it makes people face their darkest parts right in the face. Highroad No. 28 showcases on this release that they don’t simply write songs, they create worlds, dark reflective landscapes impossible to avoid.
