The lyrics of Japandroids, “Fate & Alcohol” brings the excitement that Japandroids are known for along with some pondering element as the farewell track. This is the fourth album in the series and the final album of this excellent musical duo which focuses on the concepts of love, absence, and time. Songs like No Known Drink and Night of Endless Dreams put the energy into music that will define them but also have echoes of the band’s demise. It is refined but bears the edge that fans find relatable, making each song hits. ”Fate & Alcohol” remains as a triumph as of Japandroids where audience is encouraged to embrace both the glorious and mundane of rock & roll lifestyle.
