Resurrection Disco, the latest album by Awful Din, is a wild and electrifying ride. From the opening track, "Electricity," to the closing number, "Resurrection Disco," the band delivers a non-stop barrage of pounding beats, scorching guitar riffs, and catchy hooks.
The album's standout tracks include "The Great Divide," a soaring anthem that showcases the band's knack for crafting infectious choruses, and "Killing Time," a brooding, atmospheric number that builds to a thunderous climax.
Throughout the album, Awful Din deftly blends elements of punk, post-punk, and new wave to create a sound that is both familiar and fresh. The band's musicianship is top-notch, with each member contributing tight, precise performances that never lose their sense of urgency.
Lyrically, Resurrection Disco is a meditation on the cyclical nature of life and death, with themes of rebirth and renewal recurring throughout. Singer/guitarist Maxine's vocals are raw and impassioned, perfectly complementing the album's dark, moody atmosphere.
