They are the standard-bearers of a new generation, seamlessly traversing the boundaries of grunge, metal, and shoegaze to deliver a unique blend of aggressive basslines and delicate melodies.\n\nThis 12-inch EP features five tracks written amidst their relentless touring schedule. The explosive riffs showcased on their previous work have grown even more robust, while the ambitious compositions delve into darker, more contemplative depths. An unsettling atmosphere that seems to scoop up the dark side of the band’s subconscious, combined with tempos slowed to the absolute limit and meticulously constructed guitar layers, creates a soundscape that is heavier than ever before.\n\nThe EP features five tracks in total, including \"HANNIBAL,\" where power riffs reminiscent of ALICE IN CHAINS intersect with intense emotion; \"FUNHOUSE,\" dominated by an oppressive, ultra-slow tempo that ventures into the realm of doom metal; and \"CLOWN,\" which showcases intricate synth-style lead guitar—a track where the band openly acknowledges the influence of the 90s cult band FAILURE. Lyrics penned by vocalist URIAVILA, chronicling the restlessness and alienation of adolescence, cut deep into the listener’s heart alongside overwhelming sonic intensity.\n\nThis is a pivotal work that demonstrates the band’s current position as they ascend to new heights, reconstructing traditional shoegaze aesthetics within the context of modern heavy music.\n\nClear red vinyl edition.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTracklisting:\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e1.  carousel\u003cbr\u003e2.
