Our Take

In their self-titled debut album, Darlene Shrugg presents a dizzying array of sounds that can best be described as a sonic rollercoaster. Hailing from the dystopian landscape of Toronto, this supergroup composed of members from U.S. Girls, Slim Twig, and Tropics manages to blend punk, glam rock, and post-punk elements seamlessly.

From the opening track "Inherit the Wind" to the closer "Stranger in the Corner", the band takes listeners on a wild ride filled with catchy hooks, wailing guitar solos, and unpredictable tempo changes. Lead vocalist Simone TB's charismatic delivery adds a touch of glamour to the raw energy of the music, creating a perfect balance between chaos and control.

Songs like "First World Blues" and "The F Bomb" showcase the band's ability to write clever lyrics that are both thought-provoking and humorous. The production on the album is top-notch, with each instrument shining through in the mix and creating a wall of sound that is both exhilarating and overwhelming.

Overall, Darlene Shrugg's debut album is a tour de force that demands your attention from start to finish. If you're a fan of experimental rock music that doesn't take itself too seriously, this album is a must-listen. So buckle up, dear readers, and prepare to be Shruggin' like never before.
