Forgiveness is tricky business. It’s all-consuming, emptying, tangled, exhilarating, infuriating and utterly exhausting…as Active Bird Community knows all too well. Their latest album, “Amends,” rides each one of these waves, serving as a soundtrack to the sometimes seemingly insurmountable summit of indemnification. In a year that brought forth a dizzying torrent of anger and chaos, “Amends” exists as an essential injection of visceral honesty that readjusts the focus of attention and action inward. This album is a glowing reminder that before we can pardon the world around us, we must first accomplish the messiest, most necessary feat of making amends with ourselves.
