Balance and Composure - Light We Made (Full Album Stream) 

2023 still a vibe ✨️

I love the entire vibe of this album. It's perfect for late night drives ✨

It's 2021 and this album is still the best thing that ever is and ever was.

you can really hear how much they've grown as a band. it's completely refreshing.

This record is just perfect in so many ways

Perfect for Snowboarding. I simply Love this Band

Just a check in from january 2024! Still a banger album that I cherish. Solid. ❤

These guys have a plain, ethereal sound that I love; perfect for ruminating or bike-riding in the woods on a Sunday morning. Not as heavy as their previous album but to me this is distinctly B&C. I think the songs will compliment the rest of their catalog well for those catching their live set.

It grew on me. Love it after listening to it a couple of times..great job Balance and Composure, you never disappoint.

I love it and have been listening to B&C since the beginning. Every release has been an improvement melodically and this album does not disappoint. You can tell they really had fun with this one - the little modern polishes like the electronic drums, the auto tune on Loam, the background drones just make this album so fun and curious; some may criticize this as it does make the music a bit less medicinal, but it's still introspective, wavy, and meditative. Jon is a lyrical genius, he knows not to overdo it, and how to turn seemingly simple lines into heart piercing contemplative thoughts that parade your head all day. " i am born. you are too. we are one. thought you knew" Or Mediocre Loves "they can’t call it amazing always" Anyone familiar with I Just Want To Be Pure will acknowledge that Balance isn't as heavy as a band as some fans make them out to be. Thank you.

Loam is one of the best songs you guys have ever wrote. This record is a masterpiece

the release of this album made my day a LOT better than it was before

I remember back when this album first came out. Everybody on the internet hated it and loved to talk shit more than they loved the band. I have been listening to B&C since before Separation was released. This band has always been very important to me throughout the years, and it was so sad to see such a massive division among the fan base that stemmed from this beautiful album. It warms my heart to see this comment section full of appreciative and loving comments about this masterpiece and how much it means to so many different people. It feels even better knowing that the trend of hating this album has finally come to an end. PS: Y'all are tripping about the autotune. It isn't overdone, it's quick, sweet, and simply fitting. Everything about this record is flawless.

Call is losing touch is bomb. Melody and Guitar lick wise. Drums are just on point. Love it.

I don't see what's not to like. everything they make is awesome and make me feel things 💛

CRIMINALLY UNDERRATED

Music changes and bands evolve not for us but for themselves. I love the fact that they're back and this new sound is really nice/different

I used to hate when a band would release a mature record with cleaner production value. But now that I'm older I need bands to change their sound or I get bored. Personally, I love this album. And I love that a band can grow along with my music tastes.

people really hate when a band matures

there's no reason to hate someone if they don't like the sound. some people will love it, some will hate it. I prefer the old sound but am trying to get into this

Absolute perfection

Some call it evolution, some call it maturation, I call it perfection! B&C keep getting better and better.

The fact that this band no longer plays anymore makes me Sad

If you haven't listened to this record while making love or taking a midnight stroll through the park or lying alone in your bed at two in the morning then don't comment on it's quality. If you haven't given it multiple listens at least then fuck off with the negative comments. This album is beautiful.

Keep the positive comments coming. This album is really enjoyable to a lot including me, and if not to you, it's okay!

album of the year

i appreciate the open-mindedness of this comment section, even though about half of you dont seem to like the new sound

Honestly I vibe with this. Gives me chills, all of their music has.

also i'm glad you guys write music for yourselves and not for other people. Keep pursuing your craft.

2019, this album is still out here giving me sophomore year feels

I saw them this past weekend in Toronto. It was beautiful, this new album. It's softer but soooo romantic and soothes the soul.

Still having a complete mental re-figuration to this album in 2022. Wish they were still arround. I'd see them in Houston, TX.

the whole album is 10/10 all the songs are written so peaceful not heavy at all respect to anyone still listening to BNC still in 2023

what a great album, is so ethereal and alternative at the same time,.

First time I listened to this album it blew me away how outstanding it was. EVERY track is so good. They have never disappointed me. So sad , I'm going to miss B&C :(

What an album. Wish they were still going!

This album is a masterpiece

2023 and it's still bangin

i love the shoegaze vibes from this album

Not too sure how I feel about this album yet....

Yo.....the first track was good, now I’m into Spinning and WOW it’s already amazing and the title is perfect for the beat.

always will be my favorite band

This is one of those "pop two gel tabs and listen to the whole thing in one shot" albums. Trust me you'll never be the same.

such a versatile band 👌🏼

love this album, and love that they took chances on trying something different.

shoegaze is making a comeback

I've loved you guys for years and this has been one of my go- to listens since release. Great job and super excited for you guys.

Absolutely perfect

GOOD ALBUM!

I fucking love this. What a beautiful progression (EXPRESSION) beyond their previous work. Thank you Balance & Composure.

and then they where gone.. before i could even see them live.

drumming always on point doe ~

i love this album!!!

It's so beautiful. Gosh.

First time hearing this band, reminds me so much of day one symphony! Looking forward to hearing their earlier works

This album is incredible. Can't wait to see them in 2 weeks w/ From Indian Lakes.

Eu amo tanto esse album, meu deus.

best album. keep going back listening to this 😊

Having been listening to these guys for so long and being so used to their old sounds it's definitely different. But I honestly like that they're playing around with a new sound, because it's bot bad. But it will take a while to get used to said new sound, kind of already growing on me after listening to it everyday

The old sound is what we advertise grown to love but honestly this new sound is much more interesting and mature.

Let the skepticism and eventual listening ritual begin!

Incredible. JUST WOW.

This has grown on me a ton the more I've listened to it- infact now I'd say I really fucking like most of these. They still write the same catchy melodies and progressions regardless how much aggression is behind it. It still absolutely sounds like them. I don't think the stylistic difference is that big of a deal. Course they could've thrown us a bone with one or two heavier ones, but I think as an album this is definitely as solid as anything else they've done.

It doesn't sound like I'm scraping my cheek across the sidewalk anymore.

this album is awesome.saw them do this album live it was amazing.Yeah,one of the commenters is right people don't like when a band matures. ARTV gave this record 3/10 stars.What? This album is at least an 8/10.

What an album wow

i dont get it, this is a solid album

Still so good

by far there best work

So good

If you like old the more aggressive side of B&C, I suggest the debut LP by Boston Manor. Favorite album since Separation

2024 🎉🎉 who’s with me ❤

Que bien suenan estos pibes, me encantan!

Love this

Y'all been hanging with circa survive too much

noisey.vice.com/en_us/article/a-walk-through-balance-and-composures-new-album-light-we-made The article, through Jon's words gives an elaborate walk-through of the lyrical themes of the songs, and the sound they were going for on the album. It's an intensely personal album, just like The Things We Think We're Missing, a lot of things that Jon has lived through and experienced, including the different aspects of love, and his take on fame, as a frontman and band-member. I was pleasantly surprised by Bailey's contribution to the album, I think it shows how cohesive the band is - if the music doesn't already. It opened up the album for me, and thus, I'm posting it here for interested listeners and fans of the band. I jumped on the bandwagon after listening to The Things We Think We're Missing, haha. I hope you're all enjoying the album as much as I did, it's really beautiful. Take care. :)

enaaak album paling enak dari b&c ... this album so rad

Definitely reminds me of mewithoutyou. i'll always love their first two, but this is great too; just different.

Not their best album by any means, but seriously a great album. Will probably forever be underrated and never got the love it deserves. I feel like a lot of fans of their old fan listened to this once and never went back to it. It’s a grower for sure. There are awesome tracks on this. I don’t know how you could love B&Cs other stuff and hate this. It’s different but it’s not that different. Midnight Zone and Take a Walk are the only pretty meh tracks , the rest are good shit.

oh my god the bass on the first song fuuuuuuck

Te amo Elisa

For Walk, diferentona e foda pra caraio, q album bom meu!

soo good!

the new sound isn't that bad, its growing on me

So far I really like it.. This is my first listen through and it has a sort of feel like Built to Spill's There is No Enemy.. These guys are so good on recording or live, I saw them in Austin, TX at SXSW and they were much better live than they are on recording.. which in my opinion means a lot.

This shit is so sick!!!

I actually like the new album it isn't perfect but its amazing they have changed its nice to see them doing different stuff.

It's a different sound, but I like it a lot. Of course, it helps that it reminds me a lot of the early '90s shoegaze era.

people are hating on this cd but i dig it , more mature, and he sings better

Was unsure how I felt about this because I was expecting an aggressive sound. These are good songs, but not what I was hoping for originally. Vocals seemed too tame and saturated and pulled back underneath everything like another instrument... Second listen through and I love it. Pulls that 80s The Cure sound and that 90s early 2000s NIN/Linkin Park vibe. I dig it- and they have a more dynamic setlist to perform with different artists now. Will Yip and the band made something really cool here.

Man, loving this album so much! I think it's a great progression and prefer this over Separation, was a huge fan of TTWTWM as that's what got me into B&C, but this hits the nail on the head for me

Solid af

This album was meant for a live setting.

Que álbum incrível, os caras não ficaram na zona de conforto e estão criando um som cada vez mais único! PS: Melhores canções - Midnight Zone, Call It Losing Touch e Fame.

in love with this album. anybody have any albums that have this vibe to it?? I love RARE-Hundredth, Peripheral vision -Turnover and Hyperview -Title Fight

More like "the sawdust we made" At the shop. That you never hooked up the dust collector for.

this album reminds me of the pop album bu u2

Guys please upload the album to spotify

its sounds a little like newer turnover, but i like it! nothing they do will be as good as separation though.

Wow
