As we career headlong towards the last days of humanity The Agonal Trace can be found stood back composing the soundtrack. Ours are songs of heroic love and tragic heartbreak, life and death set against a desolate backdrop, songs not of surrender but of defiance and grace in a brutal world. There is beauty and most importantly humanity running through our music, through the bleakness, and the desperation. We are the sound of mankind coming to terms with ourselves. Discovering the myriad paradoxes that haunt our existence and clambering to make sense of it all.
Sometimes we make pop music; sometimes we make challenging, unsettling music but no matter what, our aim is always to make great music. We aim to make music that will change lives, which will remain important for years to come and be heard and loved by as many people as possible. We are driven by a passion for what we do; this is not a choice for us but a compulsion and we have an absolute belief in it.
To describe the music of The Agonal Trace is not an easy task, you are best off listening for yourself. Our music is highly varied and dynamic yet has common elements which make it distinctively ours.
Here is a list of some influences, which may or may not help point you in the right direction: The Velvet Underground, Nick Cave, The Verve, Tom Waits, Primal Scream, Spiritualized, Miles Davis, Leonard Cohen, Edgar Allen Poe, J.G. Ballard, The Flaming Lips, David Lynch, My Bloody Valentine, Edward Hopper, David Bowie and many more.
