Across three well-received EPs of “sad, hard music”, German quartet Letters Sent Home have made their name as a band who match infectious melody and huge choruses, with the lyrical depth and heart of people with a lot to say. Now, having earned praise for their records and gigged with the likes of 'Blackout Problems' and 'As Everything Unfolds', they prepare to release their debut album 'Forever Undone'.
Formed while at school in Germany’s northern countryside in 2015, and becoming a serious project a couple of years later following singer Emily Paschke and bassist Lara Ripke’s time studying in North America, Letters Sent Home’s music – an energised mix of pop-punk, alt.rock and emo – has served as a vessel for Emily’s inner turbulence. It’s reflected in the album’s name, a line lifted from one of the songs.
“It took us so long to find that title,” says Emily. “The whole purpose of the album is that I'm talking about my personal trauma, and how you never actually fully heal from stuff that happens to you, but learn to live with it. You may bear scars, but those scars are never going to fade fully. There's always something you can work on. I feel like you never you're never fully, completely satisfied or happy.”
Ambitious, meaningful and full of life, 'Forever Undone' is a record set to be one of the most exciting debuts of 2024. One that sees everything coming solidly together for Letters Sent Home.
