‘You’ve Fallen Into That Trap’, the new track by Brighton trio Chalk, is a moody emo masterpiece. It’s chorus doesn’t hold back on its spiteful vilification; “you’ve fallen into that trap again, of thinking people care,” Steven Stride attacks with a reserved, moody edge. The track represents each side of a failing relationship, from the anger through to the deep-seated sadness.
With the emo-revival having progressed past a mere phase, now stirring contemporary takes on the late 90s sound, Chalk brilliantly blend their retrospection with a gritty DIY edge dominating the Brighton scene. Both raw and heartfelt, on ‘You’ve Fallen Into That Trap’ Chalk balance brutal honesty with a beautiful elegance.
