“The New Wave Space Punk synthetic superhero(es) Shrinkwrap Killers birth the first entry in a delirious sci-fi saga titled Feed the Clones. A fever dream dystopian exploration into the sentient mind of a machine spiraling to its doom.”
That’s it, that’s the post.
jk.
I just have to add: redefining post-punk in the 21st century is a new beast, and Shrinkwrap Killers from Oakland label Transylvanian Recordings is killing it. As the Cold(hot) War of AI among the lovely leaders of our tech dystopia ramps up, we have more to say about the machines than ever before. Feed the Clones Pt. 1 features blistering, oversaturated doomy guitars cloaked in darkwave garb, accompanied by deceptively mechanical goth vocals. Many of the sounds on this album are reminiscent of a more jaded Gary Numan if Tubeway Army had adopted a metal sensibility in 1979; that alone scratches an itch I didn’t know I had!
