After a 14-year hiatus, legendary emo outfit Algernon Cadwallader returns with Trying Not to Have a Thought, their first full-length album since 2008's cult classic Some Kind of Cadwallader. The original lineup of Peter Helmis, Joe Reinhart, Colin Mahony, and Nick Tazza reunites to deliver what the band describes as "just what comes out of us when these four people get in a room" – a natural evolution of their beloved off-kilter punk sound.
This comeback album perfectly captures the band's dual nature: resisting mental overwhelm from daily chaos while embracing the pure joy of feeling alive in the present moment. With their signature technical prowess and percussive playfulness intact, Trying Not to Have a Thought makes a compelling case for why emo transcends adolescent angst, offering instead a rejuvenated take on Algernon Cadwallader's classic sound that's unmistakably their own.
