Description
As The Convenience, New Orleans multi - instrumentalists Nick Corson and Duncan Troast create a hypnotic avant - rock sound on their second record, Like Cartoon Vampires. After the sugary funk - pop of their 2021 debut Accelerator, this LP is a bold reinvention. The sound is filled with spidery, atonal guitar, pointy rhythms, and strident feedback. They took a hands - on approach, focusing more on physical creation than using buttons or switches. Sessions were full of gnarly, improvisational jams with cassette loops, found sounds, and 808s. Tracks like “Target Offer” and “Fake the Feeling” are packed with ear - splitting guitar feedback, while “Pray’r” and “Rats” offer haunting minimalism. Song after song, the pop influences of Accelerator are replaced with more eccentric sounds, but the duo's funky instincts and texture mastery remain. Lyrically, it tells stories from a dying empire where characters are consumed by alienation and vanity. These songs are a passionate expression of the love for life. Tracklisting: A side - 01.
