They And The Children are an ambient hardcore band from Middletown, CT. If their new album Home, out now on Kill Normal Records, is any indication of what sort of bands are coming out of there, then I’m stoked. It’s good to finally find a band who knows what they’re doing when mixing soft ambient/post-rock with straight up hardcore. Usually you just get a shitty mish-mash of electronic bass, blips and beeps, along with the occasional scream and a poorly-timed, metalcore-esque breakdown. Instead, Home is a lush and beautiful album with a rough edge. Think of a slightly more trippy and experimental From Ashes Rise (a band I loved), and you’ve got Home down to a T.
