"I think in the simplest of terms, Amends is a record about forgiveness," says Tom D'Agustino, one of the singers and primary songwriters of Brooklyn-based band, Active Bird Community. "Forgiving your parents for splitting up, forgiving your friends for not always understanding you, learning to forgive yourself." A contemplation on loss and forgiveness, the band's debut for Barsuk volleys between the perspectives of D'Agustino and co-songwriter/lead guitarist Andrew Wolfson. The 11 tracks deal with universal themes including the tension of family, loss, and learning to move on without resentment ("Amends," "Lighthouse"), breakups ("Unwind With Me"), anxieties ("Downstairs"), and hope for the future ("Silver Screen"). As a whole, Amends represents Active Bird Community's efforts to contend honestly with the pain of their experiences and explore the empowering nature of forgiveness.
