Our Take
Our Take
MEATRAFFLE's latest album, "Abstinence Blues," is a mind-bending journey through the dark alleyways of rock 'n' roll. The South London outfit has once again delivered a chaotic, anarchic masterpiece that defies categorization. From the psychedelic swirls of "The Day the Earth Stood Still" to the raw, primal energy of "Bloody Lovely," MEATRAFFLE's sound is as unpredictable as ever.
Lead vocalist Zsa Zsa Sapien's almost hypnotic vocals draw you in, while the band's frenetic rhythms keep you on the edge of your seat. The album is a delightful cacophony of influences, from punk and post-punk to avant-garde and experimental. It's clear that MEATRAFFLE are unafraid to push boundaries and challenge conventions.
Tracks like "Gutter Feeling" and "Sewer Built" showcase the band's knack for creating a sense of unease, while "Rat Star" and "Dreamin'" offer moments of surprising beauty. Throughout "Abstinence Blues," MEATRAFFLE maintain a sense of urgency and irreverence that sets them apart from their peers.
In a music landscape that often feels stale and repetitive, MEATRAFFLE are a breath of fresh air. "Abstinence Blues" is a reminder that rock 'n' roll can still be weird, wild, and wonderfully innovative. Don't sleep on this one, folks. MEATRAFFLE are here to shake things up, and we are all the better for it.

About the artist

MEATRAFFLE: The Eccentric Enigma of South London Hailing from the diverse musical landscape of South London, MEATRAFFLE is not your average band. In fact, it's hard to pin them down to any specific genre or style. Their sound is a mesmerizing blend of psychedelic rock, post-punk, and experimental noise that leaves listeners both puzzled and intrigued. Formed in 2012, MEATRAFFLE quickly gained a reputation for their unpredictable live performances and eccentric stage presence. With a line-up that includes a rotating cast of musicians and visual artists, each show is a unique and immersive experience that is not to be missed. Their music is a melting pot of influences, from the avant-garde musings of Captain Beefheart to the off-kilter pop sensibilities of The Residents. Their lyrics are a surreal journey through the absurdity of modern life, delivered with a deadpan wit that is both unsettling and hilarious. MEATRAFFLE's discography is a testament to their experimental spirit, with each release pushing the boundaries of what is considered "music". From their debut album "Hi-Fi Classics" to their latest EP "N'doli", the band continues to surprise and delight audiences with their unorthodox approach to songwriting. In a world of cookie-cutter bands and predictable chart-toppers, MEATRAFFLE stands out as a truly original and uncompromising force in the music scene. Love them or hate them, one thing is for sure - you won't forget them. So, do yourself a favour and take a trip down the rabbit hole that is MEATRAFFLE. Your ears will thank you.
