How to make an exciting debut album and stand out from the crowd? Go extreme, get furious and make some noise. That’s precisely what Naked Lungs did on Doomscroll, their first long-form release. It features ten tracks and all of them deserve your attention.
The musicians mastered the craft of creating tension by shaping the walls of sound with horror-ish guitars, controlled feedback and a bombastic rhythm section. They are playing with listeners, not giving out any easy song structures or being loud just for the sake of being loud. Instead, they go full-on devilish here by making the formless and crushing musical numbers that itch the nerves and ears just perfectly.
It makes very little sense to dissect the record for separate songs or over-analyzing them. Like a great horror movie, it is best experienced as a whole, alone and with your full attention. It is a thrilling and intense listening experience, and now the main question is — how crazy does it sound live? We have to check that the soonest.
