Hernandez’s gruff vocals on tracks like “Bottom Feeder” and “Just For Fun” offer a grittier counter to Walsh’s more saccharine delivery, while new textures, tones, and grooves expand the band’s sonic playbook into post-grunge (“Grey”), fuzzed-out alternative (“Bern Needs His Meds”) and 6\/8 surf rock (“SSBpt2”) without losing the passion fans have come to expect.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\r\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\r\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cspan\u003e“I’d say this album is about general suffering,” Walsh says with a laugh. “Being alive is suffering sometimes. Compared to Fever Dream, I wanted to be more transparent and honest in terms of the lyrics; no metaphors or anything like that. I’m over songwriting that’s trying to be clever. If I were to stumble upon this album as a listener, I’d know exactly what the songs were saying and take a lot from it – because it really do be like that sometimes.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e \u003cdiv data-bt-autogen\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTracklist:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWither\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eJust For Fun\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSSBpt2\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSun\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBern Needs His Meds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBottom Feeder\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGrey\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThorns\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBran’s Motto\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBone$\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWaste\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eUPC:\u003c\/strong\u003e 810540036502\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLabel:\u003c\/strong\u003e Pure Noise\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRelease Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e 4.26.24\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFormat:\u003c\/strong\u003e Vinyl\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Grumpster","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":58292078411857,"sku":"359782","price":25.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0620\/5023\/8545\/files\/4304481-3170300.jpg?v=1760738803","url":"https:\/\/apocalypsevinyl.com\/products\/grumpster-lp","provider":"Apocalypse Vinyl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
