After following up their popular album Crossing with several EPs, Bress went back into the Studio to record their next album, In The Dark. Looking to go in a different direction in the studio, and inspired by their popular live performances, In The Dark was recorded with much more of a live/raw sound and feel to it. Lyrically, whereas Crossing was written very much in the third-person, In The Dark took much more of a personal first-person point of view. On the musical side of things, Bress, never content to remain in a comfort zone, continued tweaking their sound and style, which is very apparent on the songs Alone, Open and the instrumental, だって In The Dark でしょう. With their continued diverse influences, In The Dark moves this great band forward, while retaining their familiar yet unique sound.
