Downward’s self-titled sophomore album, Downward (or LP2), marks a defining moment for the Tulsa-based band—one where they fully step beyond the confines of any singular scene and deliver a rock record fit for modern times. Having honed their signature balance of airy, melancholic atmosphere and crushing weight, this album sees Downward refining their craft while embracing a newfound sense of expansiveness. The influence of post-hardcore and alternative still lingers, but Downward is a bold statement of evolution, showcasing a band that is no longer tethered to expectations.
