Amyl and the Sniffers - Cartoon darkness

NEW VINYL LP ON ROUGH TRADE 2024

180 GRAM VINYL.

Amy Taylor: ¡°Cartoon Darkness is about 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.¡±

¡°Cartoon Darkness is driving headfirst into the unknown, into this looming sketch of the future that feels terrible but doesn¡¯t even exist yet. A childlike darkness. I don¡¯t want to meet the devil half-way and mourn what we have right now. The future is cartoon, the prescription is dark, but it's novelty. It's just a joke. It's fun.¡±
