WHEN YOU'RE GONE,
I FOUND A PART OF ME
IS THERE WITH YOU
Perdida
is the
eighth
studio album
by the
American
rock band
released through
Rhino
on
February 7, 2020.
It is the band's
second album
with
as lead singer
and is
"an acoustic record
largely recorded on
vintage instruments."
The first single
"Fare Thee Well"
was released on
December 2, 2019.
"You have to live it to write it,"
said guitarist
Dean DeLeo. "
And this record is a
reflection of where
we've been recently."
Robert
said
"Perdida"
(Spanish for 'loss')
shows how music
has helped them
process grief,
search for meaning and,
ultimately,
create something beautiful
from the pain.
"When I've gone through
things in my life,
I've found that sitting down
and having an
honest conversation
with my guitar
is the best therapy."
Perdida
received
"generally favorable reviews"
according to Metacritic.
Paste
described the album as
"the sound of a band
stretching beyond its
own self-imposed limits
to challenge what a
so-called
'acoustic album'
can be",
commenting on its
"seamless blend of
country,
British
and
Mariachi folk,
orchestral pop
and soft rock."
Spin
surmised that
"this could be the start of a
new career path for STP"
in a positive review
of the album.
AllMusic
critic
Neil Z. Yeung
described the
album's music as
"weathered, weary,
and surprisingly beautiful"
but "
does its best to
find hope in the darkness."
