Description
Release Date Friday 3rd October 2025
All pre-orders will be dispatched/made ready for collection on that day.
The band cite influences ranging from My Bloody Valentine to Pixies, but draw just as
much from literature, cinema, and football podcasts. Lyrics are peppered with
references to Yeats, Greek mythology, The Simpsons, J.G. Ballard's Crash, and the
boorish director character from Le Mepris.
The result is a collection of songs that shift effortlessly between caustic art- rock,
shoegaze melancholy, and spiky rant- pop. But amidst all the bile and bombast,
Contempt finds moments of surprising tenderness. In this sense, Contempt feels less
like a statement of nihilism and more like an honest reflection of the human condition:
alienation, anger, absurdity--and a flicker of hope.
Tracks: The Sham! The Sham! The Sham! / Collision / It Surely Has
Been Hell / Migraine / Phanton Limb / O Well / S.O.M.O.D. / Hope Spings Eternal / It's
True / Communion / Happy To Be Here / Who Loves You, Baby?
