On All We Are’s third album, Providence, the trio of Ireland’s Richard O’Flynn (drums), Norway’s Guro Gikling (bass) and Brazil’s Luis Santos (guitar) create a technicolor world of love, sex, and dancing. A record made to rekindle their love of playing music, it offers a respite from the gloom, and a healing wondercure for whatever ails.

The close friends who make up All We Are coalesced while attending university in Liverpool, despite hailing from across the globe. On their previous record, 2017’s Sunny Hills, Richard, Guro, and Luis had exorcised some of their anxieties, and they returned to All We Are with a new lease of life that wound itself into the music. A retired school building, which Richard is the property guardian of, gave the trio the writing and recording space they needed to go at their own pace.

Providence is an album that takes in all facets of love—from romantic, to posthumous, to platonic—across a vibrant cascade of color and hooks, funky basslines, and electric rhythms. This clearer, more focused pop sound is thanks in part to producer Dave McCracken (Beyoncé, Depeche Mode, Ian Brown of The Stone Roses), who helped the band sift through and find the essence of each song. Where Sunny Hills was the catharsis, Providence is the balm.
