The Air Conditioned Nightmare

Description

The eagerly awaited new album from the Canadian prodigy. DOLDRUMS returns with a new album two years after the release of their highly acclaimed debut, Lesser Evil. After touring with Unknown Mortal Orchestra, Crystal Castles, Grimes and Purity Ring, and remixes for Peaking Lights, Grimes and Portishead, the band finally releases The Air Conditioned Nightmare. "There's a lot of paranoid sentiment and dystopian imagery in the album. The threat of a mundane reality ties them together, as does an obsession with plasticity. The songs come from specific feelings or images. Anxiety is my default state." This is how 25-year-old frontman Airick Woodhead describes The Air Conditioned Nightmare. It's an album of texture and taste, a multi-sensory experience. In addition to the singer's androgyne voice, we find the punk rock that made them successful in 2013. They apply these rock tunes to electronic music, creating tracks with DJ samples rather than guitars.
