With their inspirations pinballing from Peaches to M.I.A, Courtney Barnett to Janelle Monae, and more, Lynks’ sound is something akin to a club night being thrown in a blender. Each genre touchstone here is hyphenated, and every endlessly quotable couplet takes a surprising turn. Self-written, self-produced, self-effacing and self-aggrandising, the album brings together half a decade’s worth of artistic and personal progression in under 40 minutes.
STAFF COMMENTS
Barry says: Bonkers, hi-nrg synth-pop from Lynks for their debut LP for Heavenly Recordings, brimming with snapping disco and scuzzy distorted beats, all with the almost robotic vocals smeared over the top. Brilliantly mad, but undeniably catchy and full of groove.TRACK LISTING
