Amyl and The Sniffers 'Cartoon Darkness'
In their eight years since forming in Melbourne’s sticky pub-rock scene, Amyl and The Sniffers have become renowned for their balance of power and playfulness. With two acclaimed albums, their 2019 self-titled debut and 2021’s 'Comfort To Me, Amy Taylor, Declan Mehrtens, Gus Romer, and Bryce Wilson have pushed punk's boundaries. Their upcoming third album, 'Cartoon Darkness', recorded with Nick Launay, promises their most diverse sound yet, blending classic punk, glam, and stormy ballads.
'Cartoon Darkness' tackles themes of climate crisis, war, AI, and the distractions of modern life, painting a satirical yet poignant view of a generation cocooned in numbness. Amid dystopian chaos, the band embraces hedonism, celebrating life’s raw beauty while acknowledging its heartbreak. The album dives into the uncertain future, balancing dark realities with playful escapism, capturing Amyl and The Sniffers’ trademark energy and bold, unfiltered voice.
