The debut launch from Lurcher, “Stone Island” channels an infectious punk-rock sound with ample perspective and charisma. A spoken-word briskness strikes amidst distorted guitars to start out. “Can you’re feeling my hatred for these cunts?” they declare, carrying angst on a distinguished sleeve as jumpy guitar distortion and bouncy bass intertwine. A hazier, slowed-down guitar drive envelops thereafter; “Stone Island” persistently enamors in its balancing of peppy punk stream-of-conscious intrigue and a extra introspective central hook.
A trickling guitar line previous the one-minute flip swells right into a raucous vocal snarling, reminding fondly of The Libertines there. “Let ’em breathe,” the vocals implore, referring to goals. “Stone Island” is a stirring general success from the Hartlepool, UK-based Lurcher, who obtain a sound right here that feels like a lovable mix of Artwork Brut and The Libertines — amidst poignant scathing commentaries on an period of consumerism and superficiality.
