‚Attick tracks Vol. 2‘ is the cold, sharp-edged darkwave release from New Jersey duo blxckflamingo. Three tracks create a macabre soundscape that combines goth aesthetics with raw intensity. The production drives forward with pulsating drum machines and booming bass lines. The reverb-soaked shoegaze textures provide an ethereal counterpoint to the razor-sharp guitar riffs that cut like shards into the darkness. Baritone voices go low and growly, making every syllable sound like it’s got a dark intention behind it. The tension created by this interplay is palpable, swinging between anxious energy and passionate abandon.
‚Suburban Heretic‘ is all about an outsider who’s feeling a bit alienated in a run-down suburb. Shame, megalomania and the call for numbness drive him to public heresy. He rebels against social masks, expressing existential isolation.
‚Monster‘ leads into the nocturnal chaos of the big city, where sci-fi sparks and zombification cause the lyrical ego to stagger in endless states of intoxication. Ghostly longing for love collides with vampiric drunkenness. The monster is like an icon of destroying yourself and feeling all alone.
‚Embalmed‘ depicts a ritual duel between darkness and redemption. Butterfly metaphors and harvest moons are intricately intertwined with incantations for destruction and resurrection. The repeated calls for ‚annihilation‘ and ’subpopulation‘ make it clear that there is an urgent need for redemption.
Attick tracks Vol. 2 is an uncompromising manifesto: psychologically sharp, emotionally unvarnished and formally disciplined. blxckflamingo deliver an intense journey through guilt, longing and self-confrontation. For fans of dark soundscapes and goth aficionados, this EP is a must-have.
