Chronophage

CHRONOPHAGE - "Chronophage"

Released late in 2020, Chronophage’s th’pig’kiss’d quickly became an underground favorite, a DIY basement punk album that mixed Sonic Youth destruction and Yo La Tengo jangle. In the two years since a lot has changed, both in the world and with the band. Their brand new self-titled album, out via Post Present Medium and Bruit Direct Disques, sounds downright refined. Gone is the ramshackle spirit and tape hiss, in their place however, the band’s songwriting shines radiantly, giving sight to the band’s more “pop” tendencies. With each and every listen however, it feels like the album the band has always been gearing up to make. The songs are great from end to end, loaded with their vibrant snare sound, strained and stubbed melodies, and the band’s penchant for hard spun indie chaos sitting side by side with big hooks, memorable twang, and jangle punk sweetness. - DG
