Brooklyn band Two-Man Giant Squid pays ode to their DIY roots and transports you to the explosive New York underground on their new album Intro To Basement, which oscillates seamlessly dance-punk freakouts and emotional indie rock choruses framed by kaleidoscopic blend of genres.
From the mesmerising stylings of “The Opposite,” led by playful synth lines and lush guitars, to the upbeat spirits evoked by “Junkie Talk,” the album balances anthemic numbers with haunting touches on the psychedelia-drenched “Falling Little Ones,” and the raw yet determined buzz of ambient production “No End In Sight.”
The band moves through varying moods going from cheekiness and charm on the punk spirited “Progress,” the dreamy exploration of fleeting moments of joy on indie number “Cold Fingers,” and the surge of chaos brought alive by “Dogs.”
Having begun its life as a solo project by Mitch Vinokur, the act has evolved into a full-blown band known for chaotic live shows in packed basements and rooftop parties. Now with their latest album, swinging from frenetic dance-punk tempests to poignant indie rock crescendos, the band captures and distils the renaissance of New York’s underground ethos, framed by sardonic lyrical narratives and sultry sonics.
