Following their appearance at Osheaga earlier this month, Amyl and the Sniffers are back with a new album. Cartoon Darkness arrives October 25 via B2B / Virgin Music Group.
"Cartoon Darkness is about climate crisis, war, A.I., tiptoeing on the eggshells of politics, and people feeling like they're helping by having a voice online when we're all just feeding the data beast of Big Tech, our modern-day god," bandleader Amy Taylor said in a press release. "It's about the fact that our generation is spoon-fed information. We look like adults, but we're children forever cocooned in a shell. We're all passively gulping up distractions that don't even cause pleasure, sensation or joy, they just cause numbness."
Alongside the announcement, the Australian punks have unveiled the single "Chewing Gum" with a music video. Watch it, and check out the tracklist for Cartoon Darkness below.
