}} Asymmetry is the second album by British rock band Mallory Knox. It was released on 27 October 2014 via Search and Destroy and Epic Records and was produced by Gil Norton. It is the band's first release after departing from A Wolf At Your Door Records. Asymmetry charted at no. 16 in the UK album charts in the first week of sales. Like their debut album, it was released to very high positive reviews from music critics. ==Background and composition== The band signed to a major label and received "all the ability that gives you when it comes to writing and recording", according to vocalist Mikey Chapman.〔 Despite having waited a year before releasing ''Signals'', the group did not write any new material.〔 When the band began writing new compositions they were stuck writing unsatisfactory material for a few months.〔 Eventually, the group "got into this rhythm", according to bassist Sam Douglas and wrote the album in a month.〔 A few parts that did not make it on to ''Signals'' was used for ''Asymmetry''.〔 Half of the lyrics were written by Douglas, and the other half by Chapman.〔 Douglas mentioned that the lyrics were about "love and loss", while Chapman said the lyrics were "a lot more direct this time."〔 The band wanted to write an album that they would listen to if they were another band.〔 "Ghost in the Mirror" is about feeling haunted by someone's presence when they're not really there.〔Chapman 2014, p. 8〕 "Getaway" is about the complications of a relationship.〔 "Dying to Survive" is Chapman venting his frustration towards the difference in treating different people.〔 "Shout at the Moon" is "about that period between being awake and sleep".〔 "Fire" tells a story of when your home and safe haven is taken away from you with "When Are We Waking Up" continuing from that stating that you still have the power to change things and you should never lose hope.〔 "She Took Him to the Lake" expresses a range of emotions in general.〔 It was originally made of two separate songs, "She Took Him" and "To the Lake".〔 "Heart & Desire" is a personal song to Chapman and tells a story about a person he moved away from but despite the sadness he is grateful for the times together.〔 "Heart & Desire" was easier to write compared to the other songs, according to Chapman.〔McMahon, ed., 2015, p. 12〕 "Lonely Hours" is about forgiving and forgetting for your own sanity.〔 "The Remedy" expresses the time where you give into emotions and urges.〔 "Dare You" is another personal experience of Chapman's when he wrote the song during a time when he felt destroyed.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Asymmetry (Mallory Knox album)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
