Fans have come to expect nostalgia from the duo, which has released entire EPs centered around Pokémon and Minecraft. When Origami Angel isn’t shouting at you to love yourself, they are reminiscing about their oh-so-wonderful childhoods. In another standout song, “Kno U,” Heagy assures a troubled friend that “They don’t know you like they think they do / They can’t see the things that you’ve been through.” With sappy lines like these throughout the album, “GAMI GANG” could pass as a pop punk rendition of “Dear Evan Hansen.” In “Neutrogena Spektor,” a heavy hitter with a screamo outro, vocalist Ryland Heagy details his triumph over insecurity: “This cystic acne doesn’t look so good when it’s on me / But I don’t care, it really doesn’t matter to me.” And if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it.Įach of the 20 songs on “GAMI GANG” is an earworm with its own brand of wholesomeness. While the band ventures into new territory in a few places - we get some samba in “Bossa Nova Corps” and hints of pop rock in “Footloose Cannonball Brothers” - they never stray far from home for long. “GAMI GANG” is so musically similar to “Somewhere City” that it almost feels like a mega-deluxe edition of its predecessor. Even the most skeptical of listeners will have a goofy smile on their face by a few songs in. Origami Angel’s memorable brand remains front and center in “GAMI GANG.” Affectionately titled after the band’s fanbase, the album is a 51-minute bundle of pop punk jams. Origami Angel’s trademark sound - a loud mixture of confident guitar, thumping drums and peppy, playful vocals - won the hearts of young and old emo fans alike. They quickly earned a spot on “bands to watch” lists across the Internet. Origami Angel entered the scene in 2019 with “Somewhere City,” a captivating concept album about finding yourself through sheer will. Emo’s latest rising stars return in “GAMI GANG” to serve up another round of headbangers, and they’ve got a simple message for you - you’re a badass, and don’t let anyone tell you otherwise. Much love, GAMI GANG.Many bands suffer a “sophomore slump” following a stunning debut album, but not Origami Angel.
