Run For The Whales – ‘Better Every Day’

Run For The Whales’ released one of the most heart-felt, genuine albums of the year. Run For The Whales' sophomore LP Better Every Day is a series of stories surrounding triumphs and failures in the pursuit of better mental health.

The album is a lighthearted treat that delivers a punch to your emotional gut, leaving you rolling on the floor grasping for the days of seeing your favorite band in the basement of your best friend's house. Tinged with keyboard notes straight from Motion City Soundtrack’s Commit This To Memory, Better Every Day approaches topics of mental health with the right balance of emotion and humor.

Modern day ska legend Jeremy Hunter (aka Skatune Network) adds his personal touch to "Halloween Hangover," while dark-pop artist Jules Walcott leaves you in tears on "Sage Lane, Pt. 2". Each of these artists adds another element to the intense ups and downs of the album as it drives home the ultimate goal: getting better every day.
