The Pop Corporation

Are Amyl & The Sniffers punk? Are they something else? Does it matter? No. They’re back though and have things to say and noisy guitars, so strap in. They’ve got a new LP coming out – the first in three years – and it is called ‘Cartoon Darkness’.

There’s a new single to listen to as well – as mid-tempo (ish) thing by the name of ‘Chewing Gum’ which comes with a fun B&W video too. The LP will be released in October.

Tune in.

In the press release, Amy Taylor of the band says the album is “climate crisis, war, AI, tiptoeing on the eggshells of politics, and people feeling like they’re helping by having a voice online when we’re all just feeding the data beast of Big Tech, our modern-day god.”

“It’s about the fact that our generation is spoon-fed information – we look like adults, but we’re children forever cocooned in a shell. We’re all passively gulping up distractions that don’t even cause pleasure, sensation or joy, they just cause numbness.”
