“ Approaching 'Do You Feel O.K?', we reached a point where we just thought, ‘Fuck it, we’re not going to box ourselves in - we’re going to focus on writing killer songs, no matter what they sound like.’ You can hear that attitude throughout the record”. “ The first record was our take on 2009 post-hardcore, whereas this album is something new, and it’s a style of music I’ve not heard anyone else make” he states. But whilst their distinctive musical approach remains, as Hollis outlines, there’s much about this album that’s very different to what’s come before. Three years on and following successful tours with Escape The Fate, Silverstein, and Tonight Alive, Picturesque are back with new album 'Do You Feel O.K?'. It was an album that introduced the band’s unique approach to songwriting and blend of heavy rock with pop sensibility, whilst it also showcased the star quality of frontman Hollis, whose impressive vocal range and melodic delivery enhanced the potency of ' Back To Beautiful'’s songs. There was certainly a good deal of excitement when Picturesque burst onto the scene with debut full-length 'Back To Beautiful' in 2017. Born out of a post-hardcore scene that’s often characterised more by aggression than accessibility, the five-piece steadfastly refuse to be boxed or pigeonholed, and they’re set on embracing musical tropes not traditionally associated with heavy music. Kentucky natives Picturesque are a band intent on doing things differently. This song is carefree, fun, and a side we don’t normally show”. Our writing sessions have no rules and we wanted to show that side of us. They continue: “ We are just trying to push the boundaries of what Picturesque can be. We experimented with a lot of different sounds on this song and finally convinced Dylan to lay down an epic solo”. We wanted it to have a strong groove and to make it as catchy as possible. “ It’s a song where Kyle is in control of the narrative. “ We write a lot of sad songs, but we wanted this one to be different” the band shares. The announcement comes with the release of their latest single, “ATTN.”. Rock band Picturesque has announced their highly anticipated sophomore album, 'Do You Feel O.K?', out April 24th.
