ParamoreAfter Laughter
$27.00Call to Order
Paramore reinvents itself as a tropical new-wave outfit, and the bright synths hide some of their darkest lyrics yet. 'Hard Times' bounces on shiny marimba and existential dread, while 'Rose-Colored Boy' and 'Fake Happy' dress depression in dancefloor sparkle. Hayley Williams smiles through the heartbreak, and the contrast is devastating. A glittering, bittersweet pivot that proved the band could grow without losing their edge.
