Lifeguard's debut album emerges from the Chicago DIY scene, showcasing their evolution over five years into a tight-knit trio driven by angular post-punk energy. Their sound, characterized by loud guitars and complex arrangements, evokes influences from iconic bands while maintaining a distinct identity. Tracks like 'A Tightwire' and 'Like You'll Lose' exhibit a mix of urgency and thoughtful lyrical ambiguity, while others incorporate experimental elements, such as 'Music for 3 Drums.' The album challenges listeners with bold sounds, echoing both drama and fun in its composition, making it a noteworthy entry in contemporary post-punk music.
Theirs is angular, driving post-punk with audible echoes of the Pop Group, Wire, Gang of Four and the Wedding Present, but they've certainly brought their own spin to it.
The songs blaze forth with hurtling, mostly indecipherable imagery. They could be yelling I am the spy on your pillow or words like tonality come to me.
