The Story of Love, Separation, and the Guitar
Hailing from Cardiff, Ex-Vöid makes an energetic yet emotional return to the indie rock scene with In Love Again, released on January 17, 2025. The album explores different faces of love — commitment, loss, acceptance, and rebirth — through a guitar-driven narrative. Released under Tapete Records, the album blends the energy of 90s alternative rock with a contemporary production sensibility.
Songs: Between Melancholy and Euphoria
The album immediately draws listeners in with its opening track “Swansea” — sharp guitars, warm vocals, and a sense of melancholy that follows cityscapes. “Pinhead” is infused with shoegaze textures; within its blurred guitar layers, both freedom and confinement drift together. The closing track “Outline” begins with a more acoustic intimacy and builds into an emotional crescendo — the final page of an inner reckoning.
The Pulse of the Album
In Love Again melts melancholy and energy into the same vessel. The songs accompany the quiet healing process that follows heartbreak — but they are never hopeless. With its fierce guitar riffs, Ex-Vöid embraces broken hearts, reminding us in every note that it’s possible to make peace with the past and to love again. In this way, the album expands the emotional boundaries of indie rock.
IndieBird Perspective
Ex-Vöid’s In Love Again leaves a feeling that is both nostalgic and fresh. It reshapes the melodic formulas of 90s indie with the emotional intensity of today. The album feels as if it was written for anyone who’s been through heartbreak but still picks up their guitar and stands tall again. With this record, Ex-Vöid proves once more: sometimes the way to fall in love again starts with making peace with yourself.
