Genre is death releases Talk album on Cassette
An album release from Genre is death brings out a vivacious and rambunctious garage rock and experimental punk and post-punk approach and does so with a character-riddled Swagger that becomes quickly addictive just as much as the gritty tonality of the entire record does.
The Talk album ventures into fuzz tone antics in a soiree of theatrical and energetic performances that give the essence of seeing the band live simply because that energy is bombastic.
One of my favorite aspects about this record is that guitar tone simply because it changes from song to song a little bit but always has this righteous sort of edgy twang. Songs like "You" are a perfect example of this tone as the guitars seem to ring out and thrash simultaneously which I found alluring and honestly, pretty addicting.
There's also a very particular aesthetic built into this record and it's all their own which is outside the box, again, pretty experimental but insanely fun.
They bring a series of genre-bending styles and approaches, color, edginess, charismatic tonality, and an explosive and very in-your-face aesthetic.
You quickly become attached to the vocals as they give a lot of that personality and attitude to the already sonically driving soundscape of the record itself.
Tracks like "ID" showcase this the most so you can pick up on the different approaches to lyrical phrasing, energies, and waves of intensities that come and go throughout the record.
It feels almost like this album was recorded live on the floor to an extent.
As if the whole thing was done right there in the moment and the band hit the record button and just rocked out.
It's like everyone involved was feeding off each other's energies the entire time and that's why the songs come through with so much punch.
I would suggest listening to this record from beginning to end because although one or two songs will give you a gist of what you can expect, there are some surprises around the corners and if you listen to it all the way through it serves as a massive escape.
In true punk and garage style, the album spans 10 tracks and about 22 minutes in length and it's well worth your time to soak in what they have to offer.
Again, this is purely for people who love experimental post-punk, punk rock, garage thrash, grungy and gritty tones, and endless vivacious, bursting energy.
Now, this album came out last year but is now having a cassette release on March 8th via the Insecurity Hits label.
This is a perfect release to be on cassette. It has a youthful and endless drive that doesn't take itself too seriously, is completely wild, and is unique in its thick and blistering tonality.
Be sure and pick up a cassette on March 8th. Before then, you can always stream this record, push the couch back, and rampage around the living room.
That's how I jammed it out and it's super fun.
Check this one out right now and see what it does for you.
