New York-based Ravens & Chimes licensed three songs from their new album Holiday Life to the short-lived (and controversial) MTV show Skins in February 2011, yet the album's release didn't come until April 3rd - as in April 3, 2012. According to MTV Hive , internal drama such as "in-band fighting" and "no money" stood in the quintet's way, and as frontman Asher Lack insists,"[The band] came so close to falling apart on this record." But the band prevailed, the album is out, and Ravens & Chimes has created a solid, somber-with-a-hint-of-hopeful album. [...]

Amidst lineup changes and in-band fighting, Brooklyn five-piece Ravens & Chimes managed to rise above to complete their sophomore LP, entitled Holiday Life . Accordingly, the album channels the group's trials and tribulations to give their lush, orchestral rock an introspective touch. You've already heard lead single, " Night "; now sample the track called "Arrow". Its delicate opening piano line gives way to a triumphant and heartfelt outburst, as frontman Asher Lack croons, "you can tell everyone you once knew something true, but now it's gone." Hearing Lack's reflections on loss and longing while he shares vocal [...]

I didn't realize that they were about to release a new LP, Holiday Life , that has been a long time coming. According to MTV Hive, it took almost three years of in-band fighting, lack of funds, and working around day jobs to finish the album.

Brooklyn baroque five-piece Ravens & Chimes ' sophomore album almost didn't happen. According to MTV Hive, it took almost three years of in-band fighting, lack of funds, and working around day jobs to finish what would be known as Holiday Life . But like any band worth its salt, Ravens & Chimes incorporated these setbacks into their songwriting, whose morose arrangements focus on loss and expectation. Holiday Life 's first single, "Night", opens with a flutist backing frontman Asher Lack's piano-driven plea to spend the night. Drum brushes and Lack's croon soften the idea of [...]
