"Angel In The Sand" is about casting aside the practicality of life to pursue the trivial things which give meaning to one's self. Accepting and embracing the absurdity and infinity of existence. Many may find dread in the idea of living with no clear purpose or meaning, it's up to you to make your own. Comparing grains of sand to the infinite atoms in the void that make up reality, and making an attempt to see the good.

Since 2020, Leaving Time has created a distinct sound in the alternative rock realm, heard on their self-titled EP, and again on their 2022 follow-up, “II”. The band plays incredibly heavy both in recordings and live settings. With a foundation in hardcore bands, their attitude and expression transfer perfectly to this setting. Like their previous recordings, Leaving Time returned to local Florida engineer John Howard (Magnitude, Ecostrike) for their LP, primarily written throughout 2023. With the support of new master engineer Zac Montez (Cloakroom, Turnover, Nothing), this collection of songs sounds massive. The intro track builds a tense feeling with minimal guitar leads and heavy bass with toms. Later songs continue building on this feeling, like the explosive single, “Arm’s Length”. The flow of the songs allows listeners to reach these pressure release moments, like in “Waiting,” where drummer Jarod Whalen plays a mournful piano outro paired with an acoustic guitar. Small moments like these contrast the heaviness of the songs, showcasing Leaving Time’s dynamic songwriting.

With the heaviness portrayed on “Angel In The Sand,” the band closes with the song “And On,” about acknowledging pain but moving on. It’s not purely optimistic, but it again has a dynamic of contrasting emotions, brushed with dense yet beautiful sounds and melodies.
