Amyl & The Sniffers – Cartoon Darkness (CD)

In the eight years sinceAmyl and The Sniffers came together in Melbournes sticky pub-rock scene, they have become masters of balancing power and playfulness. With two critically acclaimed albums under their belt – 2019s self-titled debut and 2021s visceral Comfort To Me – vocalist Amy Taylor, guitarist Declan Mehrtens, bassist Gus Romer and drummer Bryce Wilson have achieved something unique and remarkable.

Cartoon Darkness, recorded with producer Nick Launay at Foo Fighters 606 Studios in Los Angeles, on the same desk that captured Nirvanas Nevermind and Fleetwood Macs Rumours, is full of surprises. It stretches from classic punk to the glammy strut of recent single U Should Not Be Doing That to the stormy balladry of Big Dreams (which is a sonic gear shift worthy of the title).
