There’s no stopping him, Scarypoolparty releases his 21-track album, The Act of Forgiveness.
This project reveals Scarypoolparty at his most dynamic and undeniable: entirely self-produced, it finds the young auteur experimenting with improvised composition, cinematic post-rock swell, and unflinchingly honest lyrics to weave a narrative about the winding journey to choosing forgiveness and the desire to find joy, love, and friendship.
Recorded in just nine days at LA’s legendary Village Studios and Capitol Studios, the 105-minute album not only demonstrates Scarypoolparty’s prodigious artistic versatility but casts him as maestro. On 12 of the album’s tracks, Scarypoolparty collaborated with Emmy Award and Tony Award-winning composer Rob Mathes (Bruce Springsteen, Sting, Weezer, Panic at Disco, P!nk) on sweeping, ornate orchestral arrangement. Working with an 18-piece orchestra, Mathes and Scarypoolparty were able to bring unparalleled emotional and musical depth to the project.
Scarypoolparty said:
The Act of Forgiveness is an album I made with the idea of making each song sound like a movie. It’s an album I am extremely proud of. The Act of Forgiveness is a story I wanted to tell in chapters; the story of love and heartbreak through relationships and how we all react differently, creating movie-like scenarios around life and not wanting to look at the real picture or past our flawed imagination, when we become totally lost in our imagination, and finally how we can lose ourselves in our environment and get totally lost as to what is real and what isn’t.
