FORGET ABOUT IT pulled punk to the brink in YELLOW MAJESTY’s scuzzy industrial spiral

YELLOW MAJESTY synthesised whiplashingly visceral hypersonic alt-indie punk in FORGET ABOUT IT, the freshly dropped single and video that tears into the psyche like it’s owed something. If Atari Teenage Riot corrupted garage rock, you’d get something in the orbit of this unhinged eruption. They’ve got garage punk’s scuzzy refusal to bathe their sound in gloss, the mechanised mania of industrial punk, and a beat-driven frenzy fit for fans of Kill Your Boyfriend and THE DSM IV. Juggernautical rhythms pummel through a carousel of distorted synths, fractured refrains, and mangled emotion. Through the shrieking oscillations and refracted vocals, there’s a primal submission to feeling everything all at once. The lyrics rotoscope through desperation, humiliation, and the thorny edges of quasi-requited affection. It’s the most twisted, nihilistic love song you’ll hear this year, and maybe the truest too. In the recently released music video, YELLOW MAJESTY reveal themselves as antagonists of art who would sell their souls to pull the threads of their themes out fully. Everything about FORGET ABOUT IT is built to torment convention. It’s all guts and groove, contempt and confession, fed into a brutalist machine of sound. Written and performed by Amir Haj-Bolouri, co-produced by Aaron Rubin, […] The post FORGET ABOUT IT pulled punk to the brink in YELLOW MAJESTY’s scuzzy industrial spiral appeared first on A&R Factory.
