Disastroid – Garden Creatures – Vinyl LP

Disastroid s latest outing, Garden Creatures, is a record about the darkness in the hidden corners of suburban landscapes sinister overgrown gardens, secret collections kept in basements, the crime just beneath the surface, the pervasive loneliness under a veneer of normalcy. Accordingly, it s a dark and atmospheric record, trading the stripped down approach of 2020 s Mortal Fools for a thicker, heavier, and more layered sound. Legendary producer Billy Anderson, Sleep, Melvins, Neurosis, builds mixes that range from dark and dreamy to a thick, sludgy crunch, slowly puling the listener through a range of sounds and textures, making sure things stay interesting. Singer guitarist Enver Koneya s vocals are soulful and sometimes haunting, drifting above Disastroid s characteristically off kilter, grunge influenced riffs.
