Gunshots or Fireworks Refuse to Resolve the Chaos on "DÉSORDRE" EP

Gunshots or Fireworks built their second EP around a title that translates directly to disorder, and the four tracks on "DÉSORDRE" hold to that idea with real discipline. The songs don't work toward some tidy resolution by the final track. They stay inside the discomfort of uncertainty and isolation, letting that tension carry the record instead of resolving it for the listener's comfort.

That approach shapes the sound itself. The band leans on atmospheric guitars and driving rhythms, building quiet, tense stretches that break open into explosive, emotionally loaded choruses. It's a dynamic that echoes bands like Silversun Pickups and Autolux, quiet-to-loud shifts used to mirror an internal state rather than just create dramatic contrast, and the influence of 90s indie rock and post-rock is audible without the EP sounding like an imitation of either.

The record was made entirely independently, recorded, mixed, and released by the band itself, and that DIY process matters here beyond just being a marketing detail. An EP about disorder and personal reflection carries more weight coming from a band controlling every part of its own output, since nothing about the final product passed through outside hands smoothing its rougher edges.

Across four tracks, "DÉSORDRE" doesn't try to explain away the tension it's built on. It sits inside it, layering guitar, melody, and noise until the discomfort itself becomes the point. For a band still working outside the traditional industry path, that's a confident choice, an EP that trusts listeners to stay with an unresolved feeling rather than handing them an easy way out of it.
