In the eight years since Amyl and The Sniffers formed in Melbourne's pub - rock scene, they've mastered the art of balancing power and playfulness. With two well - received albums, 2019's self - titled debut and 2021's 'Comfort To Me', vocalist Amy Taylor, guitarist Declan Mehrtens, bassist Gus Romer, and drummer Bryce Wilson have achieved something truly unique. Since 'Comfort To Me' was released, the band's reach has expanded exponentially. This bold attitude fuels their third album, 'Cartoon Darkness'. Recorded at Foo Fighters’ 606 Studios in LA with producer Nick Launay on the same desk that captured Nirvana’s 'Nevermind' and Fleetwood Mac’s 'Rumours', it's full of surprises. Musically, it's their most diverse album, spanning from classic punk to the glam of 'U Should Not Be Doing That' and the balladry of 'Big Dreams'. 'Cartoon Darkness' delves into the climate crisis, war, AI, and the false sense of help in the digital age. It reflects on how our generation is fed information and passively distracted. Despite the challenges, it also celebrates life and the desire for escapism. Tracklist: Jerkin’, Chewing Gum, Tiny Bikini, Big Dreams, It’s Mine, Motorbike Song, Doing In Me Head, Pigs, Bailing On Me, U Should Not Be Doing That, Do It Do It, Going Somewhere, Me And The Girls.
To enjoy your 'Cartoon Darkness' vinyl LP, simply place it on your record player and drop the needle gently on the groove. Make sure your record player is set up properly and has a clean stylus for the best sound quality. When handling the vinyl, always hold it by the edges to avoid fingerprints and scratches. After each use, put the vinyl back in its sleeve to protect it from dust and damage. Store the LP in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. This will help keep the vinyl in good condition for years to come.
