The album is a serious kicker as it contains jostling melodies, lyrical webs, and delightful fuzz. The majority of Slothrust’s songs start with offering you a small bite, and once you figure out you want to taste all the flavors, you wait around for a couple of seconds and fill up on the whole meal.
Fond Han’s liberating sophomore release is a sprawling LP that borrows elements of erratic grindcore and leaky free jazz while lyrically delving into a bleak corner of Baumann’s psyche. Wronked is emotionally dilated and sonically adventurous, an ambitious push toward an experimental rendering of Fond Han’s caustic punk foundation.
