Brighton, UK screamo outfit CHALK HANDS reveal their new single Pauvre de Moi, accompanied by an official music video that captures the band’s unfiltered emotional intensity. Taken from their upcoming second album The Line That Shapes the Coast of Us, the track delivers a powerful blend of vulnerability and urgency, rooted in the band’s expressive approach to modern screamo. From its opening moments, Pauvre de Moi pulls listeners into a space defined by tension, release, and raw honesty.
The song unfolds with a sense of fragile restraint before surging into cathartic outbursts, balancing melody with emotional abrasion. CHALK HANDS lean into dynamics rather than excess, allowing each shift in volume and pace to deepen the song’s impact.
